Naogeorgus, Thomas

    0.01 sec.

Naogeorgus, Thomas (1511–1563)

German polemical dramatist. A Protestant pastor, he used Latin drama as a vehicle for his Reformation polemic against the pope and the Catholic Church. His Pammachius (1538), representing the pope as Antichrist, is one of the best examples of this drama. It was acted in Cambridge in 1545.

Mercator (1540) is an Everyman play. The many plays that followed were less successful. Naogeorgus also translated the tragedies of the Greek dramatist Sophocles into Latin.
