Abstract

In 1550, San Francisco de Borja, IV Duke of Gandía, renounced all his worldly goods and went off to Rome to join the Company of Jesus. To commemorate the event he established and paid for in Gandía, his home town, the annual celebration of a lyrical and liturgical drama in two acts representing the burial (Good Friday) and the Resurrection of Christ (Easter Sunday) thanks to a pre-existing Pontifical privilege. Towards the year 1865, on not being shown the Brief that authorized it, the Archbishop of Valencia suppressed the scenification, and when in 1996 the people from Gandía tried to stage it anew, the city had lost all trace of the Good Friday ceremony as well as most of the staging annotations, the text and the music for Resurrection Sunday. So from what could be rescued from those damaged, incomplete and deficient remains I initiated an investigation that, with the discovery of long forgotten documents, has permitted me to wholly and faithfully reconstruct the work.
