The last of the extant mystery plays, Creacon of the world , written (or at least written down) by William Jordan in 1611, is different from the earlier plays in many ways. I am working on a new edition of this play, and have notes on it in Cornish and English.
As part of an exercise called Nessa Tremen, all of the traditional texts were subjected to lexical tagging .
The French element in traditional Cornish texts, and in place-names, is examined in English and in Cornish.
