II. Titivillus: Scourge of the Inattentive
a. As "fragmina psalmorum Titivillus colligit hourm." Patrus de Palude; Titivillus as mythologized and in folklore: Brown p. 69

b. As art in a liturgical setting: Anderson p. 84, p. 156

c. As a vice of the morality stage: Griswold, p. 671

d.As he is in Townley; his detritus and function: Richardson and Johnston p. 128 , p.134; Davidson p. 109


e. As he is in Mankind; his stated goals and vis-a-vis mercy :

  • i. Mercy: 301 on Titivillus: attributes and aims
  • ii. Mankind: 361 on having become inattentive to his work, "listening" to his body
  • iii. Titivillus: 605 on his aims

    f. Why Titivillus? Richardson and Johnston on Words and Deeds, p. 128; we have a play that argues that certain immaterial things are actually material and that all material things are mutable and ultimately useless. Titivillus, patron demon of scribes, makes words material (Dillon, p.56).
