Abstract
From the middle of the seventeenth century, the cult of St Francis Xavier flourished in the south of the German-speaking area. Since he was the first person who engaged in missionary work in the East India, the Jesuits in this area praised him not only in printed literature and pictures, but also in drama, and promoted the world mission. Xavier was also well-known for his ‘love of God’. Thus, many Jesuit dramas on Xavier dramatized Xavier’s prayer linked to the love of God or depicted the interior development of Xavier led by the love of God. A major element of these dramas focused on the education of the boys at the Jesuit school, who were expected to become good followers of Xavier.
期刊介绍：
European Medieval Drama (EMD) is an annual journal published by Brepols. It was launched in 1997 in association with the International Conferences on Medieval European Drama organised at the University of Camerino, Italy, by Sydney Higgins between 1996 and 1999. The first four volumes of European Medieval Drama (1997-2000) published the Acts of these conferences. This series of conferences was suspended for the foreseeable future in 1999. At the Tenth Triennial Colloquium of the Société Internationale pour l"étude du Théâtre Médiéval (SITM), held in Groningen, the Netherlands, in August 2001, it was proposed that EMD should be published in association with SITM. This proposal has now been approved by all interested parties, and comes into effect as of spring 2002.
