Ebook: Die Hessische Passionsspielgruppe. Band 2 Alsfelder Passionsspiel: "Frankfurter Dirigierrolle" mit den Paralleltexten. Weitere Spielzeugnisse. "Alsfelder Passionsspiel" mit den Paralleltexten.

Within the group of Hessian passion plays, the Alsfeld play tradition is the one best and most comprehensively documented. Alongside a frequently revised and enlarged play text, the other sources that have come down to us are a director's book, various individual roles, and a catalogue of players. This is the first publication of these documents based on uniform editorial principles, together with the Fritzlar Passion Play Fragment and a new reconstruction of the no longer extant "Friedberg Dirigierrolle". To illustrate the intersection between the Frankfurt (Vol. 1) and Alsfeld traditions, the introduction presents the relevant text passages from the Frankfurt and Heidelberg Passion Plays on opposite pages, with the "Frankfurt Dirigierrolle" as lead reference text. The heart of the volume is the new edition of the Alsfeld Passion Play (with melodies) together with parallel passages from all relevant textual sources within the Hessian Passion Play collection.
