| Abstract | This literary historical panel is a pendant to the DOML panel 'Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim's Hagiographical Drama: Codicology, Quellenforschung, und Literary Strategies' and should be scheduled after it Paper 1 will explore possible hagiographical (and other) antecedents for Hrotsvitha's dramatic treatment of martyrs, aiming to go beyond the usual recourse to ancient acta proconsularia. Paper 2 will study Hrotsvitha's transformative intertextual relationship to Terence's earthly sexuality. Paper 3 will examine Hildegard of Bingen's Ordo Virtutum, a musical play with allegorical personifications, not anachronistically in relation to later allegorical drama, but in relation to Medieval Latin Streitgedichten. |
