Subject: Temple scenery
Here is a question for all you medieval theatre experts from a
liturgical/art historian.
Has anyone done research on the stage sets for medieval representations of
the Temple of Jerusalem, such as appear in the Passion play of
Valenciennes? Is there any more recent writing on the topic than what I
have already found in:
Chambers, __The Multiple Stage in Spain.
Young,__Drama of the Medieval Church.
Elie Konigson,__L'espace theatral medieval.
Elie Konigson,__La representation d'un mystere de la Passion a
Valenciennes
These are rather dated. Can anyone suggest a more recent study, perhaps a
monograph? Granted, there is a good amount of art historical writing about
the Temple in painting, but what about stage sets? Any insights about a
common stage model?
