Nieznane jezuickie programy teatralne w bibliotekach wileńskich
Unknown Jesuit Theatre Programmes in Vilnian Libraries

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present eleven to date unknown Jesuit theatre programmes, summary records of dramas performed in colleges in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 17th and 18th centuries: [Antiprologue], Artaban (1757), Cineres ad iustam vindictam animati (1702), Conviva bonae mentis (1700), Corona civica, Corona religionis orthodoxae (1682), Daumondus (1690), Divina iustitia scelerum vindex (1718), Exaltatio de portis mortis (1738), Flocillus (1757), Gaudia post luctus (1680). The programmes were discovered in the following Vilnian libraries: the Vilnius University Library, the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, and the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. The analysis is based on a programme study model applied in Dramat staropolski (Wrocław, 1976). In terms of content, the programmes recapitulate plays with motives already known from the bibliography, as well as feature new themes referring to the ancient history and the history of Polish and Lithuanian territories.
