Description

Illustrated with thirteen masterful woodcuts, this vernacular Italian retelling of Christ's Passion was composed by a disciple of St. Catherine of Siena. The text, written in ottava rima (with an "abababcc" rhyme scheme), was performed as a sacra rappresentazione ("sacred performance," or mystery play) for the Florentine public during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
