Abstract
This chapter presents interpretations of Jean Bodel's most famous work, The Play of Saint Nicholas. The play is groundbreaking work of medieval drama that straddles religious and secular themes, signaling a departure from biblical enactments prevalent in earlier medieval dramas. The performance is believed to have occurred around 1200 CE in a secular setting, marking an evolution in medieval theater. The play intertwines elements of preaching and theatrical narrative, presenting a blended genre with religious themes.
