This detailed work explores the evolution of medieval drama with a particular focus on its origins and development, linking it to earlier theatrical traditions and the influence of religious practices. Ingelius specifically examines the role of Christianity in shaping drama during the medieval period, providing insights into how ancient theatrical elements were transformed and integrated into new artistic practices. The opening of this scholarly work introduces the historical context in which medieval drama emerged, emphasizing the interplay between pagan traditions and early Christian culture. It outlines how, despite the decline of ancient theatrical forms during the rise of Christianity, elements of drama persisted and evolved through religious ceremonies and rituals. Ingelius suggests that the mimicry that characterized early drama was rooted in a deep-seated human instinct and was influenced by religious observances. He discusses genre transitions, the significance of early performances in churches, and the transition of theatrical practices from religious contexts to public entertainment, laying a strong foundation for understanding the historical continuum in dramatic arts that would lead to the emergence of more formalized medieval theater.
