Summary

1. "As the patron of travelers, Saint Christopher inspired one of the most popular cults in the medieval era, which spread across Europe and especially the Iberian Peninsula. Artistic renderings of the saint were found near the doors of most Spanish Gothic churches, and paratheatrical representations of Saint Christopher were also commonplace in religious processions. His conversion and martyrdom were often staged between the fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries ... This publication is the first critical edition of the only extant copy of Benavides's playscript. The circumstances surrounding Benavides's play continue a dialogue about such important topics as censorship and the influence of the church over artistic production."--Back cover
