John Christopherson, 'Jephthah'. Greek and Latin, seventeenth century

John Christopherson, Fellow of Pembroke and St John's Colleges, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, Bishop of Chichester (d. 1558): 'Jephthah', a drama in Greek. The play has been dated by Boas to around 1544 (University drama in the Tudor age, Oxford, 1914, pp. 45-7). This copy is dedicated in Latin to Cuthbert Tunstal, Bishop of Durham, while a very close variant at Trinity (MS O.I.37) is dedicated to William Parr, Earl of Essex. For a printed edition compiled from these two manuscripts see Francis Howard Fobes and Wilbur Owen Sypherd, Jephthah, by John Christopherson (Newark, Delaware, 1928). The editors suggest that the play may have been performed at Trinity in 1554-5 and 1566-7, although the attribution is uncertain in both cases (Fobes and Sypherd, Jephthah, p. 9).
