INTRODUCTION

Ceneton (Census Nederlands toneel) describes all manuscripts and editions of Dutch drama until 1803. This date was chosen because in that year the final old edition of one of the plays by the art society Nil Volentibus Arduum was published. By Dutch drama we mean all texts written for production of which a the author is Dutch or Flemish, also translations and plays in other languages. Ceneton now includes (1st of January 2020) data on 12.000 plays (numbered Ceneton000010 - 120000). The most important data have been published on World Wide Web:
