	§13. Nicholas Udall. V. Early English Comedy. Vol. 5. The Drama to 1642, Part One. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21
		The earliest completely extant memorial in the vernacular of the revived study of Roman comedy is the translation of Andria, entitled Terens in English, printed by John Rastell before 1530.
		The further step of writing an English comedy on classical lines was taken by Nicholas Udall.
		Udall was evidently a man of very versatile gifts and energies, and it is unfortunate that we have not the materials for a comprehensive survey of his work as a dramatist.
