 Bonos Nochios. S. R. 1609, Jan. 27 (Segar). 'An enterlude called Bonos Nochios.' Charlton (Arber, iii. 400).

Cardenio. Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.) and Fletcher.

Celestina. S. R. 1598, Oct. 5. 'A booke intituled The tragicke Comedye of Celestina, wherein are discoursed in most pleasant stile manye Philosophicall sentences and advertisementes verye necessarye for younge gentlemen Discoveringe the sleightes of treacherous servantes and the subtile cariages of filthye bawdes.' William Aspley (Arber, iii. 127).

This was doubtless, like the earlier Calisto and Meliboea (Mediaeval Stage, ii. 455) and James Mabbe's The Spanish Bawd (1631), a version of the Spanish Celestina (1499) of Fernando de Rojas, but it can hardly have been Mabbe's, which was entered in S. R. on 27 Feb. 1630, while Mabbe, although born in 1572, is first heard of as a writer in 1611, and appears to have turned his attention to things Spanish as a result of a visit to Spain in that year.

1 Chinon of England. S. R. 1596, Jan. 20. 'The ffirste parte of the famous historye of Chinan of England.' T. Gosson and Danter (Arber, iii. 57).

The Admiral's produced 'Chinone of Ingland' as a new play on 3 Jan. 1596. Greg, ii. 178, is probably right in relating the S. R. entry to Christopher Middleton's romance, The Famous Historie of Chinon of England, printed by Danter for Cuthbert Burby in 1597. But 'Chinon of England' is in Rogers and Ley's list.

Cleopatra. An unascribed 'Cleopatra', in addition to the plays of Daniel (q.v.) and May, is in Rogers and Ley's list.

Cloth Breeches and Velvet Hose. S. R. 1600, May 27. 'A morall of Clothe breches and veluet hose, As yt is acted by my lord Chamberlens servantes.' Roberts (Arber, iii. 161).

This is one of the plays stayed by a note in the Register on the same day (cf. ch. xxii).

College of Canonical Clerks. S. R. 1566-7. 'An interlude named the Colledge of canonycall clerkes.' John Charlewod (Arber, i. 335).

Craft Upon Subtlety's Back. S. R. 1609, Jan. 27 (Segar). 'An enterlude called, Crafte vppon Subtiltyes backe.' Charlton (Arber, iii. 400).

Crafty Cromwell. A tragi-comedy in Kirkman's list of 1661. Greg, Masques, lx, thinks it may be a duplicate entry of Cromwell's Conspiracy (1660).

Destruction of Jerusalem. By Legge (q.v.).
