Abstract:
This thesis has as its main objective the study and critical edition of the four passion plays included in the very important dramatic Majorcan play codex (end of the sixteenth century), known as the Llabrés Manuscript (Ms. 1139 of the Biblioteca de Catalunya). These four passion plays, each of which contains a play for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, can be considered the central pivot for the other plays included in the manuscript either for prefiguring some scene of the Passion of Christ or for illustrating some aspect of the history of Redemption. The four passion plays, edited and analysed in the present thesis, and formed by the plays nº 19 (Consueta del Ditious Sanct, folios 73ra-75ra), nº 20 (Consueta del Divendres Sant, folios 75ra-76rb), nº 21 (Cobles del Devallement de la Creu, folios 76va-77vb) and nº 22 (Consueta de la Resurectió de Jesucrist Nostre Senyor, folios 78ra-80vb); the plays nº 27 (Consueta del Ditious Sant, folios 103ra-106vb) and nº 28 (Consueta del Divendres Sant, folios 107ra-109rb); the plays nº 38 (Consueta del Ditious Sant, folios 162ra-167vb), nº 39 (Consueta del Divendres Sant, folios 168ra-170vb) and nº 41 (Consueta del Devallament, folios 175ra-176vb) and the plays nº 42 (Representatió per lo Ditious de çena, folios 177ra-185va), nº 43 (Consueta del Divendres Sant, folios 186ra-188vb) and nº 49 (Representatió del Devallament de la Creu, folio 234ra). Apart from establishing the text of the twelve consuetes or plays of the Passion cycle of the Llabrés Manuscript, all except for nº 21 unpublished, we offer the linguistic analysis of the plays, we examine their textual sources and we situate them in the Catalan and European tradition of passion plays, taking into account their originality and significance.
