Intellexit periculum Capnio & hanc Comoediam occultavit.
Interea tamen, quia flagitabatur actio, alteram dulcem fabellam
edit, & repraesentari ab ingeniosis adolescentibus, quorum ibi
extant nomina, curat."
Mr. Hallam (_Literat. of Europe_, vol. i. p. 292., {90} 1st ed.), misled
by Warton and others, gives a very defective and erroneous account of
the _Progymnasmata Scaenica_, which he supposed to contain several
dramas; but he concludes by saying, "the book is very scarce, and I have
never seen it." Gottsched, in his _History of the German Drama_, merely
says he had seen some notice of a Latin drama by Reuchlin. Hans Sachs
translated it into German, after his manner, and printed it in 1531
under the title of _Henno_.

MYLES BLOMEFYLDE--ORTUS VOCABULORUM.
Sir,--In reference to the Query of BURIENSIS in No. 4. of your
periodical, as to the parentage of Myles Blomefylde, of Bury St.
Edmund's, I beg to contribute the following information. In the library
of St. John's College, Cambridge, is a volume containing an _unique_
copy of "the boke called the Informacyon for pylgrymes vnto the holy
lande," printed by Wynkyn de Worde, in 1524, at the end of which occurs
the following manuscript note:--
"I, Myles Blomefylde, of Burye Saynct Edmunde in Suffolke, was
borne ye yeare following after ye pryntyng of this boke (that
is to saye) in the yeare of our Lorde 1525, the 5 day of Apryll,
betwene 10 & 11, in ye nyght, nyghest xi, my father's name
John, and my mother's name Anne.
