This volume presents six comedies by Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, edited and printed according to the Emmeran manuscript. Included is a preface on poetry and Hrotsvitha’s letter to certain wise patrons of the book from the Huns. This edition also adds previously unpublished verses from the same codex. Hrotsvitha, a 10th-century Benedictine canoness, is celebrated for her Latin works, which offer a unique perspective on medieval society and Christian virtue. Her plays, modeled on Terence but adapted for a Christian audience, provide valuable insight into the intellectual and artistic life of her time. This collection, ’Comoedias Sex,’ showcases Hrotsvitha’s talent and the enduring appeal of her dramatic works.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
