Records of Early English Drama: York, edited by Alexandra F. Johnston and Margaret Rogerson, University of Toronto Press 1979, is the standing scholarly documentary edition of York's own civic and guild records of the mystery plays. Its strength is that it is a critical edition of primary archival material, part of the Records of Early English Drama project's standard reference series. Its limit is that it presents the civic and guild records themselves, not an interpretive analysis of the plays' theological content, which needs a separate scholarly source.
