- Abstract
The article tackles the meanings, interpretation and use of classical Latin theatrical terms in medieval Latin period of Bohemia, Czech Republic. Particular focus is given to the theatrical terms including theatrum, amphitheatrum, scaena, comoedia and tragoedia. The learned dictionaries of Papias, Osbern of Gloucester and Hugutio of Pisa are said to have become the key sources of lexicographical knowledge of the theatrical terms. It is noted that medieval lexicography played a role in the transmission of erroneous conceptions of theatrical terms.
