N2 - Johannes Reuchlin’s Scaenica progymnasmata, or Henno, (1497) was written in Heidelberg for local actors and a local audience. One of the pupil actors, Jacob Spiegel, wrote an extensive commentary on this play (1512). Thus, both phenomena (the play and the commentary) seem to be quite local. Yet the project betrays several transnational features: for instance, the writing of comedies, the theme of Henno, and the composition of Spiegel’s commentary are all far from local. This article maps the transnational aspects of both the play and the commentary.
