Only Edition of this festival book recording a mystery play on the Dream of Daniel staged on 6 April in the church’s apse and sanctuary area. The ephemeral scenery and props are described, their painters documented and the decoration of the church interior recorded, including specially hung tapestries, costumed statues and inscriptions.
