Translation of medieval Dutch drama featuring first known use of the play-within-a-play device. A drama in medieval Dutch that provides the first known example of the play-within-a-play device. The text is based on the chapbook of around 1518. In a remarkable parallel to the Faust chapbook, a young woman enters into an agreement with the devil, offering her soul for knowledge and wisdom. Translated and edited by Professor Therese Decker and Martin Walsh, with the original text on facing pages.
