         <projectDesc>
            <p>Records of Early English Drama (REED) is an international scholarly project that is
               establishing for the first time the context from which the drama of Shakespeare and
               his contemporaries grew. Founded in 1976, REED has worked since then to locate,
               transcribe, and edit historical documents containing evidence of drama, secular
               music, and other communal entertainment and ceremony from the Middle Ages until 1642,
               when the Puritans closed the London theatres.</p>
            <p>REED London Online is a prototype online collection developing from the Records of
               Early English Drama (REED) in partnership with the Canadian Writing Research
               Collaboratory (CWRC) and supported by Bucknell University. It aims to establish an
               openly accessible online scholarly and pedagogical resource of London-centric
               documentary, editorial, and bibliographic materials related to performance, theatre,
               and music spanning the period 1100-1642. With support from an NHPRC-Mellon Planning
               Grant for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives and CANARIE Research Software
               Program grants, REED London is creating new environments for scholarly presentation
               of archival materials gathered from legal, ecclesiastical, civic, political, and
               personal archival sources in and around London. The objective of the REED London
               project team is to build a stable, extensible publication environment that optimizes
               access to these compiled materials in ways that respond to scholars’ research
               interests across disciplines. Consulting with other planning grant recipients will be
               invaluable to ensuring that REED London’s production and publication environment is
               in line with standards laid out in the NHPRC-Mellon grant objectives. It is hoped
               that the progress REED London and CWRC make will also inform the larger dialogue
               about best practices among funded teams.</p>

            <p>This is the first of some twenty-one payments in the Brewers’ accounts, 1500–1 to
               1537–8, to St Nicholas clerks(s) and/or a St Nicholas bishop, with the date of St
               Nicholas Eve or Night also sometimes specified. St Nicholas Eve was 5 December. Since
               this account is for 1500–1, running almost certainly from September to September (see
               Lancashire (ed), <title>Civic London to 1558</title>, The Documents, p lxxxiv), this
               St Nicholas clerk is presumably receiving money in December 1500. St Nicholas clerks
               (from local churches) are usually associated with a St Nicholas boy bishop, and with
               misrule revelling on St Nicholas Eve or Day (and also activities on the feast of the
               Holy Innocents, 28 December, but the Brewers’ St Nicholas clerk(s) and bishop
               payments never refer to Holy Innocents). See under 'Other Seasonal Festivities' in

In <ref target="https://cwrc.ca/islandora/object/reed%3A2f9eb09e-4646-4d8e-973f-dd6120784369">1528–9</ref> the Brewers’ accounts refer specifically to the priests and clerks
               of (St Mary) Aldermanbury – the company’s parish church – in the hall on St Nicholas
               Night. In 1538 St Nicholas bishops, said to be customary in London on St Nicholas Eve
               and Day, going about the parish to the great costs of the parishioners, were
               prohibited; see <ref target="https://cwrc.ca/islandora/object/reed%3A82672810-090f-448d-aff3-41d8e61c0325">Journal 14, 1538–9</ref>. </p>
