• Resumen

  • In 1558, Hans Sachs designed a new saint for a martyrs’ play: St Pura, and her companion, St Gottfried. The plot of the tragedy, however, was not completey new: on the contrary, Sachs adapted Ambrose’s legend of the virgin of Antioch. By attributing names to all figures in the legend, Sachs gives it a new interpretation: It is now a tale of pure Lutheran faith, calling on the audience to preserve the new religion.
