I check every sentence I publish, multiple times, for errors and inconsistencies (of logic, reason, or evidence); so too do the editors, readers, and reviewers that I work with. That said, sometimes an error or inconsistency slips past us. At this page, then, I list those inconsistencies I have noticed (or that others have noticed and brought to my attention) in my academic writing only after it has already been published. If you have noticed any errors or inconsistencies (of logic, reason, or evidence) in my published work that belongs on this list, please contact me at sergi.utoronto[@]gmail.com (the final judgment about whether something is an error or inconsistency is mine, so you’ll have to convince me).

This error is now fixed in the electronic version of this article, but remains in the print run of the article. I had misstated in passing (because I had misunderstood) that the 1977 PLS Toronto production was one of two attempts to stage all the York Plays in one day. The 1977 production seems to have aimed in the first place to "time the processional method accurately" by scheduling its plays across two days (October 1 and 2, 1977); what the heavy rain on October 1 ruined was not an original plan to fit the plays into one day (as I had understood it), but rather the attempts to time accurately (see Johnston, "York Cycle, 1977", 1–2). As far as I know, as of 2025, the 1998 and 2025 PLS Toronto productions are the only modern productions that planned to (and did succeed at!) fitting the plays into a single real day.

At page 33, I write, citing my exchanges with PLS, “Modern live revival performances of the Chester plays have constructed carriage stages that fit Rogers’s specifications, demonstrating the utility and flexibility of twelve-foot wide by six-foot deep carriages, mounted on six wheels, open on three sides, sometimes with upstage backdrops installed on the fourth side, where the carriage likely backed up against a wall or storefront.” My final edit of this sentence, as published, wound up obscuring which of Rogers’s specifications were tested in PLS’s productions: the PLS wagons then in use had four wheels, rather than six. (Thanks to Aria Kowal for catching this.)

At page 88, note 48, I write that “the Early Banns leave out the lost Wives’ Assumption” — I think I may have just typed “Early” out of habit (because I talk about those Banns more), but it is, of course, the Late Banns that leave out the lost Wives’ Assumption.
