medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Jill, I recently published an article with Baylor Journal on
Sacra Rappresentazioni and religious rituals during holy week in
Ferrara. They are mainly translations of journals kept by the court
notaries, describing what they saw. They lead right into the first
performances of secular humanist comedies (Plautus translated into
Italian) in 1486. A lot of what I would have to say would be stuff I
have already publihed or presented at conferences, but the context you
offer gives a fresh look at them. May I send you some samples for
your opinion?
