Papal primacy rests on a single line of scripture: Matthew 16:18, “You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church.” The question of whether or not Christ vested the full authority of the Christian Church to Peter alone allowed secular rulers and reformers alike to dispute the legitimacy of the papal institution. In the period leading up to the opening of the Council of Trent, papal primacy became a fundamental concern. Popes claimed that any threat to their plenitudo potestatis jeopardized the unity of the faith, while their opponents saw it as the main hurdle towards religious and civic autonomy. During this time, a series of ongoing papal commissions beginning with Paul III Farnese (1534-1549) and continuing through the pontificate of Gregory XIII Boncompagni (1572-1585) sourced pictorial content from the Acts of the Apostles and the Life of Peter. These pontiffs were able to legitimize and bolster their authority by investing in Petrine and Pauline imagery that promoted the Apostolic identity of the church at a crucial turning point when the very definition of doctrine was intensely debated. This project traces how a coherent and consistent program for leveraging cultural capital emerged across five decorative programs within the Apostolic Palace: the Pauline Chapel (1542-45/1573-76/1580-85), the Casino of Pius IV (1562-63), a previously unknown series of frescoes for the landings of the palace staircases (1572), the second loggia (c. 1574/75), and the area above the portico of Saint Peter’s Basilica (c. 1575/76). Over the course of forty years, the papacy employed artists such as Michelangelo Buonarroti, Perino del Vaga, Giorgio Vasari, Lorenzo Sabbatini, Federico Zuccaro, and many others to visually concretize these Apostolic-focused narratives. Besides painted programs, the larger visual strategy capitalized on a broader scope of media. This included cope decorations, carved marble reliefs, and papal medals, which helped circulate and solidify the thematic typological associations between the Apostolic age and the Tridentine era. By the end of the sixteenth century, the systematic development of the papacy’s Apostolic identity had taken such a firm hold that it continued with Clement VIII Aldobrandini (1592-1605) in the altarpieces chosen for the small nave of new St. Peter’s Basilica, and with Paul V Borghese (1605-1621) at his eponymously named Pauline Chapel. What emerges from this analysis is the collective organization of a papal identity built around the lived and witnessed experience of the disciples that predates the full expression of a Counter-Reformation ideology. / Art History

However, before dealing with Adam s sin, as related in Judeo-Christian Holy Writ, aiming at answering the question that names this dissertation Original Sin: an Augustinian inheritance? , it seemed advisable to increase research field, although moderately. So the possibility of finding the idea of origins fault in other traditions is considered, as related in the Book of Genesis. As a result, before entering the biblical narration about Adam s and Eve s sin, this research studies other myths, namely: Prometheus s and Pandora s myth; Zoroastrian Myth on the world creation. After analyzing the above mentioned myths, the study focuses on the biblical narration about Adam s and Eve s sin and its interpretation by Paul the Apostle and by Church Fathers, who had in Saint Augustine s thought their theological systemization under construction about Adam s sin. A systemization that takes place mainly because of Pelagian controversy, which denied human nature s defectibility attributed to the first parents sin, called by Augustine original sin . Finally, the influence of Augustinian thought concerning the original sin in the Church will be studied; the first definitions; Augustinian thought through two great Scholastic theologians: Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas; the Council of Trent and the dogmatic definition to all the Church about the original sin, based on Augustine s thought; the relation between two dogmas: Original Sin and Immaculate Conception; the concept of original sin in face of new scientific discovers and of the Second Vatican Council. Thus this study intends to ponderate the concept of original sin not properly as an Augustinian idea, but an idea that is part of human thought, because when asking about the existing goods in the created reality, it is asked also about evil existence / O presente estudo tem por objetivo trabalhar o tema da falta das origens e suas consequências para a natureza humana, que, no século 5, será chamado por Santo Agostinho de Pecado Original , fazendo referência direta ao pecado de Adão. Porém, antes de se falar do pecado de Adão, como se encontra nas Escrituras judaico-cristãs, visando responder à questão que dá título à dissertação Pecado Original: uma herança agostiniana? , achou-se por bem ampliar, mesmo que de forma moderada, o campo de pesquisa. Dessa forma, cogita-se a possibilidade de em outras tradições se encontrar o tema da falta das origens, como se faz presente no livro do Gênesis. Desta forma, antes de se adentrar no relato bíblico do pecado de Adão e Eva, esta pesquisa se detém em outros mitos, a saber: o mito de Prometeu e Pandora; o Mito de Tântalo; o Mito zoroástrico da criação do mundo. Analisados tais mitos, parte-se para o estudo do relato bíblico do pecado de Adão e Eva e a interpretação que se fizera deste pecado, principalmente pelo apóstolo Paulo e pelos padres da Igreja, que encontram em Santo Agostinho um sistematizador da teologia que se estava construindo sobre o pecado de Adão. Uma sistematização que acontece, principalmente, por causa da querela pelagiana, que negava a defectibilidade da natureza humana advinda com o pecado dos primeiros pais. A este pecado, Agostinho chamará pecado original . Por fim, estudar-se-á a influência do pensamento agostiniano sobre o pecado original na Igreja; as primeiras definições; o pensamento de Agostinho em dois grandes teólogos da escolástica: Anselmo de Cantuária e Tomás de Aquino; o concílio de Trento e a definição dogmática para toda Igreja do pecado original, tendo como base o pensamento de Agostinho; o encontro de dois dogmas: Pecado Original e Imaculada Conceição; a ideia de pecado original diante das novas descobertas científicas e do concílio Vaticano II. Assim, este estudo trabalha a ideia de pecado original não como uma ideia propriamente agostiniana, mas como tema da reflexão humana, pois, ao se questionar sobre os bens que existem na realidade criada, questiona-se também a existência do mal

Il presente studio ha posto come obiettivo di delineare gli sviluppi della commedia plautino-terenziana nel periodo post-tridentino esaminando le commedie di Luigi Groto il Cieco di Adria (1541-1585). Il periodo di primo Cinquecento vide il «recupero» e la «reinvenzione» della commedia che partì dal modello plautino, adattando ai bisogni del tempo e del pubblico del Rinascimento. All'inizio del Cinquecento prevalse la commedia «motoria» di Plauto basata sull'intreccio, sulle beffe e sull'azione. quando la struttura della commedia iniziò a irrigidirsi, il modello pralutino venne approfondito usando elementi della «stataria», di modello terenziano, basata sullo studio dei caratteri. Tale cambiamento avvenne anche all'interno di alcuni letterati del secolo, Angelo Beolco e Pietro Aretino, entrambi fondamentali per la presente analisi. Le tre commedie in questione, composte da Luigi Groto sono molto diverse tra di loro. Ogni capitolo del presente studio analizzerà una sola commedia e ciascuna da un solo punto di vista. Il primo capitolo avrà come oggetto la proposta linguistica del Groto presentata nella sua prima commedia, intitolata La Emilia, opera di stampo chiaramente ariostesco. Nel secondo capitolo potremo conoscere il quadro offerto dal confronto di diverse concezioni della donna. Nella seconda commedia del Groto, intitolata Il Thesoro, infatti, saranno confrontate una vasta gamma di personaggi femminili, tra cui la più trasgressiva, Licinia, la giovane malmaritata. Questa commedia, chiaramente, è di stampo aretinesco. Il terzo capitolo esaminerà la struttura «hedonistica» de La Alteria, una metacommedia per eccellenza di stampo formalmente terenziano, ma con influssi dei tre maestri: Ariosto, Beolco e Aretino. / The aim of the present study is to define the development of the comedy of Plauto-Terencian origin after the Council of Trent. It will examine the comedies of Luigi Groto, comparing them with other comedies of the Sixteenth Century. There was a reinvention of the comedy based on the Plautian model in the first half of the Cinquecento. The model (called motoria), which was full of effects and lively with action, was adapted to the needs of the era and the public taste. Subsequently this model was enriched by patterns of the Terencian comedy called stataria. The stataria, differently from the motoria, gave more room to characters and to reflections of the comedy itself. Some playwrights, i.e. Angelo Beolco and Pietro Aretino, both fundamental for the study, followed this development in their plays. The three comedies that we are going to analyse, differ from each other. Every chapter is going to examine only one comedy and only from one point of view. In the first chapter, we are going to analyse the language of comedy that Groto proposed in the La Emilia (1579). This play is based on Ludovico Aroisto's elaboration of Plautus. In the second chapter, we are going to look at different perceptions of female characters in the Il Thesoro (1583), Groto's second comedy. We will see how the change in the importance of women on stage modified the other characters. In the last chapter we are going to interpret how the La Alteria (1587), based on Terence and Aretino, became a pure metacomedy, and how its hedonistic structure was influenced by Ariosto, Aretino and Beolco.

Para a compreensão dos objetivos do processo atual de formação do clero, busca-se entender quem é o padre, qual sua identidade, como se deu a compreensão histórica dessa identidade e qual o perfil das pessoas que se interessam por entrar e fazer parte da assim chamada ¿carreira sacerdotal¿. Através dos vieses das análises de cunho sociológico, histórico e pedagógico a presente pesquisa investiga a formação presbiteral em três fases: a primeira que vai do Concílio de Trento (1545-1563) até meados do século XX; a segunda que aborda a experiência tópica de pequenas comunidades formativas, no breve período do entorno do Concílio Vaticano II (1962-1965) e, a terceira que analisa a formação do clero no período pós-Concílio Vaticano II, sobretudo no período do pontificado do Papa João Paulo II (1978-2005). O trabalho está dividido em três capítulos em que se analisa a formação presbiteral e os seminários na sua compreensão histórica, tendo como referenciais de compreensão Michel Foucault, em sua obra Vigiar e Punir, Erving Goffman, na obra Manicômios, Prisões e Conventos o teólogo João Batista Libânio, em sua obra ¿A Volta à Grande Disciplina¿. O primeiro capítulo, intitulado ¿Um modelo persistente¿, faz um percurso na história para compreender a identidade do presbítero plasmada e forjada e pelo Concílio de Trento. O segundo capítulo, ¿Um modelo em luta¿, analisa a tentativa de superação da identidade tridentina no que diz respeito à formação do clero, empreitada pelo Concílio Vaticano II, apontando a renovação da eclesiologia e das estruturas da Igreja. Como caso concreto de análise, estuda-se neste capítulo a trajetória da formação do clero na Arquidiocese de Campinas, levantando-se a história dos seminários nesta Igreja Particular e a aplicação das determinações dos documentos da Igreja e dos Concílios. O terceiro capítulo ¿O velho no novo¿, descreve os desdobramentos da renovação eclesiológica proposta pelo Vaticano II, que acaba por exigir um novo modelo de presbítero diante das novas realidades do mundo atual e da pós-modernidade, tendo como iluminação as orientações do pontificado do Papa João Paulo II, a partir das diretrizes da Exortação Apostólica Pós-Sinodal Pastores Dabo Vobis de 1992 / Abstract : This work approaches the theme of clergy formation by looking at the terms ¿formation¿ and ¿clergy,¿ which are subjects that cannot be dissociated from each other. In order to comprehend the purpose of the current process of clergy formation, this work seeks to understand who the priest is, his identity, the historical comprehension of priestly identity, and the profile of the men seeking to enter the so-called ¿clergy-career.¿ Through the lens of sociology, history, and education, the present work researches the clergy formation in three stages: First, from the Council of Trent (1545-1563) to the middle of the 20th century; second, approaching the experience of small formative communities, during the brief period near the II Vatican Council (1962-1965); third, making an analysis on the formation of clergy in the post-Vatican II period, especially during the pontificate of pope John Paul II (1978- 2005). This work is divided in three chapters that approach clergy formation and Seminaries in their historical comprehension, having as reference the thoughts of Michel Foucault in his work, ¿Vigiar e Punir,¿ of Erving Goffman in, ¿Manicômios, Prisões e Conventos,¿ and of the Theologian João Batista Libânio, in his work, ¿A Volta à Grande Disciplina.¿ The first chapter, entitled, ¿A persistent model,¿ draws a path through history to comprehend the clergy identity of the Priest built by the council of Trent. The second chapter, ¿A struggling model,¿ makes an analysis of the attempt to overcome the Tridentine identity regarding Clergy formation, achieved by the II Vatican Council, pointing to a renewal of ecclesiology and church structures. As a concrete case, the chapter will discuss on the trajectory of clergy formation in the Archdiocese of Campinas, unfolding the history of the seminaries in that particular church and the application of the Church documents, guidelines, and Councils. The third chapter, ¿The Old in the New,¿ describes the unfolding of that renewal of ecclesiology proposed by Vatican II, which requires a new model of clergy against the new realities of the current world, and postmodern era, according to the positions taken during the pontificate of John Paul II, departing from his Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Pastoris Dabo Vobis (1992) / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutor em Educação

The Council of Trent, held in the sixteenth century, built an ideal-type of priest that lasted unchanged over nearly four hundred years. During this long period, the priests were trained in seminaries closed and they did not have contacts with the "secular world". Now with the Vatican II the model is broken in favor of another kind of idea, where the elders should work closer to their faithful. The formative system is transformed and the close ancients institutions in open seminaries where the future priests have freedom to work together to community. Rather than analyze these two formatives patterns, we arise historical line of the foundation of the Claretianas Congregation and how it has adapted over the years to change the seminars as well as the positive and negative consequences from this reformed process. Having conscience that we will comment a subject that is the backbone of the Catholic Church, we will use theoretical reference of the sociology and history to obtain better comprehension of the delicate and controversial formative process inside of the seminaries / Essa dissertação examina a formação sacerdotal católica, comparando o período anterior e posterior ao Concílio Vaticano II, analisando especificamente os efeitos das transformações no processo formativo para a Congregação dos Missionários Filhos do Imaculado Coração Maria, conhecidos como Missionários Claretianos. O Concílio de Trento, ocorrido no século XVI construiu um tipo-ideal de sacerdote que perdurou praticamente sem alterações ao longo de quase quatrocentos anos. Durante este longo período, os sacerdotes eram formados em Seminários fechados, com quase nenhum acesso ao mundo secular . Com o Vaticano II esse modelo é desfeito em prol da construção de outro, onde os presbíteros deveriam atuar de maneira mais próxima a seus fiéis. O sistema formativo é transformado e as antigas instituições fechadas dão lugar a Seminários abertos onde os futuros sacerdotes possuem liberdades para trabalhar junto à comunidade. Mais do que analisar esses dois modelos formativos, levantaremos traços históricos da fundação da Congregação Claretiana e como a mesma se adaptou ao longo dos anos às transformações dos Seminários, bem como as consequencias positivas e negativas oriundas desses processos reformadores. Tendo a consciência de que abordaremos um objeto que faz parte da espinha dorsal da religião católica, utilizaremos referenciais teóricos da sociologia e história para obter uma melhor compreensão do delicado e controverso processo formativo no interior dos Seminários

Parmi les réformes du concile de Trente, figure celle des ordres religieux incités à s'organiser en congrégations. Y figure aussi l'invitation à traduire dans l'architecture et le décor des églises, l'expression de la foi catholique réaffirmée. Tout cela induit de nouvelles formes architecturales ou de nouveaux aménagements liturgiques qui s'accompagnent dans le cas des ordres religieux, d'une réorganisation spatiale des monastères. Dans ce que le professeur Taveneaux a défini comme une dorsale catholique, la Lorraine tient une place particulière, par son histoire déjà, par son emplacement dans l'échiquier européen d'alors et par la forte présence d'une Eglise soutenue par les souverains. Par l'engagement d'évêques réformateurs, parties prenantes du concile de Trente, puis celui de la famille ducale de Lorraine, le pays voit éclore en quelques années trois fortes congrégations : l'Antique Observance dans l'ordre de Prémontré à partir de Pont-à-Mousson alors que la personnalité de Pierre Fourier cristallise la réforme des chanoines réguliers de Saint-Augustin. Pour les bénédictins, c'est la congrégation de Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe de dom Didier de La Cour. Par les choix et habitudes architecturaux, par le choix des décors des églises et des bâtiments claustraux, par la vie quotidienne et ses objets, il est possible d'avoir une nouvelle vision de cette congrégation particulièrement active et présente sur le sol lorrain.Les vannistes qui essaiment en France ne sont pas sans influence sur les populations. Il apparaît alors naturel de chercher à comprendre ce que leur architecture et leurs choix décoratifs disent d'eux, de la manière dont ils relaient la doctrine de l'Eglise et dont ils se perçoivent eux-mêmes avec le corollaire de l'image contrôlée ou non qu'ils veulent donner d'eux. Leur architecture, témoin d'un pouvoir, d'un état d'esprit, est aussi sûrement la traduction de leurs principes religieux. Le niveau provincial retenu est celui où se décident les noviciats, où se réfléchissent les suppressions éventuelles ou créations de maisons, où un visiteur fait le lien entre le gouvernement central de la congrégation et chacune de ses maisons. Les religieux vivent aussi cette réalité géographique car ils ne sont que fort peu nombreux à passer d'une province à l'autre et il apparait des spécificités provinciales dans l'organisation même de la congrégation, sans négliger pour autant les choix politiques ou l'évolution de la pensée qui varie différemment selon la province. Car au-delà même des aspects liés à l'organisation de la congrégation, la province de Lorraine offre une singularité supplémentaire, celle d'être alors dans un pays indépendant, même si cela est, à l'époque moderne, tout relatif. Bien que d'une étendue géographique assez limitée, elle offre tous les cas de figures pouvant se rencontrer dans la variété de statuts et d'histoire des maisons vannistes. Toutes ces situations constituent un excellent échantillon de la perception que des religieux cloîtrés des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles peuvent avoir de leur cadre de vie et de la manière dont ils le concrétisent. Tous ces éléments doivent concourir à définir ou non un éventuel style vanniste, montrant sous un jour particulier le quotidien des religieux qui composent cette grande congrégation d'une cinquantaine de maisons en Lorraine et en France, mère de congrégations réformées en France et en Belgique et sœur d'autres réformes monastiques nées en Lorraine dans les premières années du XVIIe siècle. / Among the reforms of Trent, is that religious orders are encouraged to organize themselves into congregations. It shall include the invitation to translate the architecture and decorations of the church, the expression of the catholic faith, are reaffirmed. All this leads to new architectural forms and new liturgical developments, are also accompanied in the case of religious orders, by a spatial reorganization of monasteries. In what Professor Taveneaux defined as a Catholic back, Lorraine holds a special place in history, by its location in the european stage and then by the strong presence of a church supported by the sovereigns. By reformers bishops stakeholders the Council of Trent and that of the ducal family of Lorraine commitment, the country sees hatch within a few years three congregations : Ancient Observance in the norbertine order from Pont-à-Mousson while the personality of Pierre Fourier crystallizes the reform of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine. For Benedictine, is the congregation of Saint-Vanne and St. Hydulphe by dom Didier de La Cour. The choices and architectural patterns, the choice of sets of churches and abbey buildings themselves, by everyday life and objects, it is possible to have a new vision of this congregation which is particularly active on the Lorraine ground. The vannistes swarming in France are not without influence on populations. It appears natural to try understanding in what their architecture and decorative choices say about them, how they relay the doctrine of the Church and how they perceive themselves with the corollary of the controlled image they want to give of them. Their architecture, witness the power of a state of mind, as surely is the translation of their religious principles. The provincial level used is where decisions novitiates, which reflect any deletions or creations of houses, where a visitor made the connection between the central government of the congregation and every house. Religious also live this geographic reality because they are just very few of them move from one province to another and it seems provincial specificities in the very organization of the congregation without neglecting the political choices or changes' thinking that evolves differently in each province. For even beyond the aspects related to the organization of the congregation, the province of Lorraine offers additional singularity, whereas that of being in an independent country, even if it is in modern times, all relative. Although a fairly limited geographical scope, it offers all the scenarios that can be found in the variety of status and history of vannistes houses. All these situations are an excellent sample of the perception that religious cloistered seventeenth and eighteenth centuries may have their living and how they materialize. All these elements must contribute to define whether a possible style vanniste showing in a particular light daily religious that make up this great congregation of about fifty houses in Lorraine and France, mother of reformed congregations in France and Belgium other monastic reforms sister born in Lorraine in the early seventeenth century.

Cette thèse porte sur l’éloquence sacrée telle que le prédicateur franciscain Francesco Panigarola, l’une des figures majeures de l’art oratoire post-tridentin, la conçut en tant que rhéteur et la pratiqua du haut de la chaire. De son œuvre nous avons retenu les textes en italien : d’une part les écrits polémiques, les traités rhétoriques et pédagogiques, où s’exprime la réflexion de Panigarola sur le statut et les finalités de l’éloquence sacrée, d’autre part ceux qui attestent des procédés oratoires mis en œuvre dans l’exercice de la prédication. L’étude associe à la fois une approche chronologique, centrée sur le profil biographique, et une approche systématique concernant quelques grandes questions rhétoriques et stylistiques. L’objectif est de restituer l’orateur franciscain à la culture de son temps et de mettre en lumière certaines constantes de son style oratoire asian, notamment le statut privilégié accordé aux ressources de l’imagination visuelle. La première partie suit les étapes de la formation humaniste et religieuse de Panigarola ; la présentation de quelques documents inédits permet de jeter une lumière nouvelle sur ses activités de controversiste et de diplomate. La seconde partie analyse la théorie du discours oratoire sacré qu’il développe dans ses traités rhétoriques à l’usage des prédicateurs : Il Predicatore, les Regole per far la memoria locale et le Modo di comporre una predica. L’étude vise à mettre en évidence l’originalité des initiatives stylistiques et des procédés rythmiques, lexicaux et morphosyntaxiques de Panigarola, qui marquèrent l’entrée de la prédication dans le domaine de la littérature italienne. La dernière partie est consacrée à la définition de la doctrine panigarolienne de l’image ainsi qu’à la description des stratégies visuelles et auditives déployées dans ses sermons. Comment le franciscain réussissait-il à « faire voir », par les mots et à travers eux, les concepts qu’il voulait transmettre ? Quelles étaient les ressources du style qu’il déployait pour rendre son discours « visualisable » ? Ces questions ont été examinées du point de vue de l’enargeia « visuelle » et « sonore », et des procédés techniques dont elles sont le fruit. / Our theme in this thesis is sacred eloquence, such as that of the Franciscan preacher Francesco Panigarola, a major figure of post tridentine oratory art, envisaged it as a rhetor and practised it from his pulpit. We have selected texts in Italian from his works: on the one hand, controversial writings, rhetorical and pedagogical treatises, where Panigarola reflects upon the status and finalities of sacred eloquence, and on the other hand, those which bear witness of the oratorical procedures utilized for sermons. Our study links, at one and the same time, a chronological approach, focussing on the biographical profile and a systematic approach to a few major rhetorical and stylistic questions. Our objective is to replace the Franciscan orator within the culture of his times and throw light on certain recurrent themes in his asianic style, particularly the pre-eminent status granted to the resources of visual imagination. Our first part takes us through the stages of Panigarola’s humanistic and religious formation; the presentation of a few previously unpublished documents sheds new light on his activities as a controversialist and diplomat. The second part analyses the theory of sacred oratory art, which he developed in his rhetorical treatises for the use of preachers: Il Predicatore, the Regole per far la memoria locale and the Modo di comporre una predica. The aim of our study is to show the originality of his stylistic initiatives and the rhythmic lexical and morpho-syntaxic methods of Panigarola, which marked the arrival of preaching in the world of Italian literature. The last section is devoted to the definition of Panigarola’s doctrine of the image, together with the description of the visual and auditory strategies employed in his sermons. How did the Franciscan succeed in “bringing to sight”, by his words, and through them, the concepts he wished to transmit? What were the stylistic resources he used to make his speech “seeable”? These questions have been examined from the point of view of “visual” and “resounding” enargeia, and the technical procedures which gave it birth.

By the turn of the seventeenth century, the auto sacramental quickly became the most elaborate dramatic genre in Spain. Shortly after the Council of Trent, professional playwrights replaced clerics who had previously written autos for the Corpus Christi celebrations held each year, but none were more influential than Lope de Vega in refining thematic, literary, and staging elements and techniques. At the middle of the nineteenth century, critics began to study the genre that a royal decree had banned almost a century earlier; however, few have dedicated much time to Lope's autos. As a result, most critics have misunderstood Lope's contributions to the genre. This study addresses some of the issues that scholars have particularly misunderstood or ignored, namely, Lope's treatment of the Eucharistic theme in his autos, the level of dramatic unity displayed in his Corpus Christi plays, and the contribution of spectacle to the overall performance. Using a textual analysis of three of Lope's autos, I conclude that Lope could and did write profound, unified liturgical plays designed to disseminate Catholic dogma in an effective and entertaining manner. Each of the three autos used in this study, Las aventuras del Hombre, El viaje del Alma, and Los dos ingenios y esclavos, presents a protagonist representing mankind, who must learn to disregard evil influences faced in mortality and turn to Christ and the Eucharist for salvation. These elaborate liturgical performances, whose budgets exceeded those of the popular comedias of the day, all took place in city plazas around the country. In order to understand the deserved popularity that Lope's autos clearly enjoyed in their original setting, scholars need to return to the texts themselves and not merely rely on criticism.
