From circa 1300 a new genre developed in European literature, Neo-Latin drama. Building on medieval drama, vernacular theatre and classical drama, it spread around Europe. It was often used as a means to educate young boys in Latin, in acting and in moral issues. Comedies, tragedies and mixed forms were written. The Societas Jesu employed Latin drama in their education and public relations on a large scale. They had borrowed the concept of this drama from the humanist and Protestant gymnasia, and perfected it to a multi media show. However, the genre does not receive the attention that it deserves. In this volume, a historical overview of this genre is given, as well as analyses of separate plays. Contributors include: Jan Bloemendal, Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Cora Dietl, Mathieu Ferrand, Howard Norland, Joaquín Pascual Barea, Fidel Rädle, and Raija Sarasti Willenius.

La figura del Anticristo es muy importante en las Sagradas Escrituras, pero su importancia crece con los escoliastas y tratadistas de la edad media. Entre los principales libros sobre el asunto se cuenta el "Drama del Anticristo", escrito en el siglo XII, entre 1160 y 1186, en la abadía benedictina de Tegernsee en los Alpes de Baviera, por un monje cuyo nombre se desconoce. Luis Astey, especialista en textos medievales, y de quien El Colegio de México ha publicado anteriormente "Dramas litúrgicos del Occidente medieval", una de las investigaciones más importantes sobre el tema realizadas hasta ahora, se encontraba trabajando en diferentes versiones de textos de la época a su muerte. Como una manera de rendirle homenaje y poner al alcance del lector estos textos, se publicó en 1999 "Las ocho leyendas de Hrotsvitha de Gandersheim" y se publica ahora este libro en versión bilingüe. Astey consideraba este texto en proceso, pero aún así la calidad de la versión hace pertinente su publicación, a la cual acompañan un prólogo de otro importante especialista en el tema, Mauricio Beuchot, y un apéndice que incluye un texto del propio Astey situando el camino que va de "Las ocho leyendas" al "Drama del Anticristo".

First critical edition of Burmeister's newly discovered Aulularia Joannes Burmeister of Lüneburg (1576–1638) was among the greatest Neo-Latin poets of the German Baroque. His masterpieces, now mostly lost, are Christian ‘inversions’ of the Classical Roman comedies of Plautus. With only minimal changes in language and none in meter, each transforms Plautus’s pagan plays into comedies based on biblical themes. Fascinating in their own right, they also bring back to attention forgotten genres of Renaissance literature. This volume offers the first critical edition of the newly discovered Aulularia (1629), which exists in a sole copy, and the fragments of Mater-Virgo (1621), which adapts Plautus’s Amphitryo to show the Nativity of Jesus. The introduction offers reconstructions of Susanna (based on Casina) and Asinaria (1625), Burmeister's two lost or unpublished inversions of Plautus. Fontaine also provides the only biography of Burmeister based on archival sources, along with discussions of his inimitable Latinity and the perilous context of war and witch-burning in which Burmeister wrote. Burmeister's inversions bear witness to the special talent of his age for the creative reworking of Classical literature, such as Monteverdi's Poppea or Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, as well as to his tumultuous times, with his views on military abuses in the Thirty Years' War prefiguring those of Grimmelshausen's Simplicius Simplicissimus.
