| Summary: | "From the tenth century until about 1600 the liturgical drama was staged in medieval churches all over Europe. Performed chiefly at Easter and Christmastime, these little plays served both teaching and devotional functions." "The present volume reproduces ground plans and traces on them the performers' paths in the cathedrals of Bamberg (sixteenth century), Besancon (thirteenth and sixteenth centuries), Braunschweig (ca. 1200 and fourteenth century), Essen (fourteenth century), Meissen (1520), Rouen (fourteenth century), and Trier (fourteenth century) - and at Constance (thirteenth through seventeenth centuries) and Gernrode (ca. 1500) and Magdeburg (fifteenth century) with their stone replicas of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem."--Jacket.
