Abrem-se as cortinas para o Jogral de Deus: O Franciscanismo nas obras de Gil Vicente

Abstract

This these analyze Gil Vicente s work comparing to the writes and ideas of Saint Francis of Assisi, named himself Joculator Domini (Jogral of God), trying to prove that the ideology of Frades Moraes is still present not only in the theater, considered in devotion but also in Vicentinos sermons. But in almost all works attributed to Gil Vicente, including in his farces and comedies. Therefore, to find out San Francis s thought, present in his writes considered actually authentic, and how the Franciscana ideology are elapsed in Vicentinas work. Therefore this work restate that, despite the fact of living in a transition moment through Middle Age and Modern Age, Gil Vicente was a man in medieval formation and spirit rooted in a profuse Christian theological conception. For all these things, the father of portuguese theater, influenced by the writes of São Francisco de Assis, produced a work whose thoughts and values point to moralizing the five hundred portuguese society and transforming, deepening, the superficial religiosity, practiced at that time
