Théâtre de Hrotsvitha religieuse allemande du dixième siècle, traduit pour la première fois en français avec le texte latin revu sur le manuscrit de Munich

Step into a world few listeners have ever heard of: the 10th‑century stage of a German nun who wrote drama for her convent. Hrotsvitha’s plays blend classical motifs with Christian virtues, turning mythic characters into exemplars of faith and charity. The opening scenes introduce audiences to a courtly yet austere setting where pagan heroes are re‑imagined to teach moral lessons.

This audio edition presents the French translation alongside a carefully restored Latin text, with scholarly notes that illuminate the historical background and manuscript quirks. Listeners will follow the unfolding conflicts, witty dialogues, and somber reflections that reveal how medieval theater could be both entertaining and didactic. The rich narration captures the cadence of the original verses while keeping the stories accessible to modern ears.
