This is not independent scholarship; it is Encyclopaedia Britannica's own staff-written entry on the sacra rappresentazione, one article inside the same continuously maintained project this atlas also records as a general source elsewhere. Use it for what this specific entry states about the genre's definition and subject range; a claim needing deeper literary-historical detail needs a dedicated academic source produced outside Britannica's own staff.

Reliability Tier2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's own staff-written entry on the sacra rappresentazione, the middle tier reflecting professionally edited reference material rather than independent scholarship, one article inside the same continuously maintained project this atlas also records as a general source elsewhere. Use it for the entry's own statement of the genre's definition and subject range; deeper literary-historical detail needs a dedicated academic source produced outside Britannica's own staff. NotesDefinitional entry: fifteenth century Italian ecclesiastical drama comparable to the English mystery plays and Spanish auto sacramental, dramatizing the life of Christ and the saints and the history of salvation from Creation to the Last Judgment.
