Ordinalia The Ordinalia are three medieval mystery plays dating to the late fourteenth century, written primarily in Middle Cornish, with stage directions in Latin.〔 The three plays are ''Origo Mundi'', (The Origin of the World, aka ''Ordinale de Origine Mundi'', 2,846 lines), ''Passio Christi'' (The Passion of Christ, aka ''Passio Domini Nostri Jhesu Christi'', 3,242 lines) and ''Resurrexio Domini'' (The Resurrection of Our Lord aka ''Ordinale de Ressurexione Domini'', 2,646 lines).〔〔 The metres of these plays are various arrangements of seven- and four-syllabled lines. ''Ordinalia'' means "prompt" or "service book".〔 (in: Koch and Minard edd. ''The Celts'')〕〔 (in: ''Oxford Encylopeida of British Literature'')〕 ==First play== The first play, called ''Origo Mundi'', begins with the Creation of the World, the Fall of Man, and Cain and Abel, followed by the building of the Ark and the Flood; the story of the temptation of Abraham closes the first act. The second act gives us the history of Moses, and the third represents the story of David and of the building of Solomon's Temple, curiously ending with a description of the martyrdom of St Maximilla as a Christian by the bishop placed in charge of the temple by Solomon. An offshoot of the ''Origo Mundi'' is the ''Creation of the World with Noah's Flood'' (''Gwreans an Bys: the Creacon of the World''), written in Cornish with English stage directions, copied by William Jordan in 1611.〔 (Appendix I, The Cornish Trilogy, The Death of Pilate〕
