Why did Florentines invest so much effort in the performance of "sacre rappresentazioni", their dramatizations of the life of Christ and the saints, the history of Man's Salvation from the Creation to the Last Judgement, Old and New Testament stories, and miracles of the Virgin? Drawing on manuscript and printed plays, confraternal and communal archives, chronicles and letters, this study explores in fine detail and with careful attention to chronology the performance groups and their motives, and the financing, staging, and reception of their plays. Woven into this exploration is an account of the transmission of the plays first in manuscript and later in print, with woodcuts that have guaranteed their survival to the present day."-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Text in English; some text in Italian. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 889-982) and indexes. 505 0 $a Volume 1.
