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".

Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy is a volume of essays investigating European tragedy in the seventeenth century, comparing Shakespeare, Vondel, Gryphius, Racine and several other vernacular tragedians, together with consideration of neo-Latin dramas by Jesuits and other playwrights. To what extent were similar themes, plots, structures and styles elaborated? How is difference as well as similarity to be accounted for? European drama is beginning to be considered outside of the singular vernacular frameworks in which it has been largely confined (as instanced in the conferences and volumes of essays held in the Universities of Munich and Berlin 2010-12), but up-to-date secondary material is sparse and difficult to obtain. This volume intends to help remedy that deficit by addressing the drama in a full political, religious, legal and social context, and by considering the plays as interventions in those contexts. Contributors are: Christian Biet, Jan Bloemendal, Helmer J. Helmers, Blair Hoxby, Sarah M. Knight, Tatiana Korneeva, Frans-Willem Korsten, Joel B. Lande, Russell J. Leo, Howard B. Norland, Kirill Ospovat, James A. Parente, Jr., Freya Sierhuis, Nienke Tjoelker and Emily Vasiliauskas.
