Historical Records

Jesus College Audit Book (1581-82) JEA: A/C 1.2, p.818 (Necessary and external expenses):

Item to mr Murgetrod for puer vapulans . . . . . . . . . . . . . . v s x d


Nelson, REED Cambridge 1.305


Theatrical Provenance

Produced at Jesus College, Cambridge, 1581-2. Written in Latin.


Probable Genre(s)

Latin Comedy (Harbage)


Possible Narrative and Dramatic Sources or Analogues

The title, Puer Vapulans, means "the beaten boy", but this provides little clue to the content. As Martin Wiggins notes, there must have been a boy actor available at Cambridge to "to take the unenviable title role" (528).
