Croxton Play of the Sacrament by John T Sebastian
The Croxton Play of the Sacrament, which survives in a single sixteenth-century copy, dramatizes the physical abuse by five Muhammad-worshipping Syrian Jews of a Host, the bread consecrated by a priest during the Christian Mass. The text is the work of a playwright possessed of a tremendous theatrical imagination, notwithstanding his choice of subject matter.
John T. Sebastian is Assistant Professor of Medieval Literature at Loyola University New Orleans. His research interests include 14th- and 15th-century English religious literature and medieval mysticism.
