Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The essay deals with the important connections between mnemotechnical practices and dramaturgical schemes of dramatic representation in the Middle Ages. Through an analysis of the treatise sources of the Fathers of the Church, an account is taken of a shift in the meaning of the concept of representation to which the change in the concepts of scene and image is connected. The study is completed by some examples of analysis of the patterns of construction of the memorial representation, useful for understanding the future development of the concretely acted Christian scene.
