Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an exploration of medieval liturgical drama, focuses on the Ordo Rachelis, a play centered around the slaughter of the innocents as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The author traces the play's origins back to earlier liturgical practices, suggesting its roots in the responsory Sub altare Dei, which features a dialogue between the souls of the slain children and an angel. The book examines multiple versions of the Ordo Rachelis, uncovering variations in dramatic content, from simple lamentations to elaborate scenes involving Herod's court and the comforting of Rachel by Consolatrix. Through a study of these versions, the author explores the play's place within the broader context of medieval drama and its profound insights into themes of suffering, loss, and redemption. The Ordo Rachelis emerges as a powerful expression of medieval religious thought, offering a poignant exploration of the human experience of grief and the hope of salvation.
