Abstract

From the middle of the seventeenth century, the cult of St Francis Xavier flourished in the south of the German-speaking area. Since he was the first person who engaged in missionary work in the East India, the Jesuits in this area praised him not only in printed literature and pictures, but also in drama, and promoted the world mission. Xavier was also well-known for his ‘love of God’. Thus, many Jesuit dramas on Xavier dramatized Xavier’s prayer linked to the love of God or depicted the interior development of Xavier led by the love of God. A major element of these dramas focused on the education of the boys at the Jesuit school, who were expected to become good followers of Xavier.

德语区南部耶稣会戏剧中的弗朗西斯·泽维尔与上帝之爱

从17世纪中叶开始，圣方济各·泽维尔的邪教在南部的德语区蓬勃发展。由于他是第一个在东印度从事传教工作的人，该地区的耶稣会士不仅在印刷品和图片上赞扬他，而且在戏剧上赞扬他，促进了世界传教。泽维尔还以“对上帝的爱”而闻名。因此，许多关于泽维尔的耶稣会戏剧将泽维尔的祈祷与上帝的爱联系起来，或者描绘了泽维尔在上帝的爱的引导下的内心发展。这些戏剧的一个主要元素集中在耶稣会学校的男孩们的教育上，他们被期望成为泽维尔的好追随者。

期刊介绍： European Medieval Drama (EMD) is an annual journal published by Brepols. It was launched in 1997 in association with the International Conferences on Medieval European Drama organised at the University of Camerino, Italy, by Sydney Higgins between 1996 and 1999. The first four volumes of European Medieval Drama (1997-2000) published the Acts of these conferences. This series of conferences was suspended for the foreseeable future in 1999. At the Tenth Triennial Colloquium of the Société Internationale pour l"étude du Théâtre Médiéval (SITM), held in Groningen, the Netherlands, in August 2001, it was proposed that EMD should be published in association with SITM. This proposal has now been approved by all interested parties, and comes into effect as of spring 2002.
