Abstract
As a consequence of Zwingli’s rigorous ban on the veneration of saints, the genre of saints’ plays flourished in Catholic parts of the Swiss confederation after the Reformation and after the Council of Trent. Lucerne, the heart of Swiss Catholicism, saw its first representation of a saints’ play in 1585 when Jakob Wilhelmi staged the lives and martyrdoms of the apostles on the Wine-Market. The manuscript of this play, as well as those of other vernacular saints’ plays staged in the following years (St. Wilhelm, St. Catherine, St. Leodegar), originates from the collegiate convent at Beromunster, where it was staged in 1560. Several circumstances could explain the lively theatre activity in Beromunster. Among these are some problems in collegiate discipline, which caused the implementation of Catholic reform. The staging of the apostle play in the convent could have been a demonstration of loyalty to the Catholic faith.
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.
