Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to describe how the theoretical foundations of the most prominent Jesuit drama poetics were applied in the Jesuit order drama and theatre practice in the territory of present-day Slovakia during the Baroque period. The subject of the study is a discourse between the theoretical frameworks of one of the four known essential teaching aids of the Jesuit grammar school in Skalica, Collegium repetentium humaniorum – a manuscript of the compendium of the Latin language and realia entitled Commentarii in Litteras Humaniores, (Notes on Human Sciences) whose chapter De Drammatibus (On Drama) summarises the Jesuit theory of drama of prominent 17th century European authors – and the plotline of a Jesuit school play by Jozef Bartakovič Moyses (Moses), which was staged in July 1749 in Trnava.
