This study reflects Aristotle’s Poetics, in particular his concept of mimesis as a basic form of artistic representation in baroque Jesuit theoretical practice in the territory of today’s Slovakia. It focuses on an overlooked anonymous theoretical work entitled Commentarii in litteras humaniores, which was most probably one of the most important textbooks of poetics at the Jesuit grammar school in Skalica in the first half of the 18th century. Although it is not clear who the author of this valuable manuscript is, an analysis of its second book Observationes Poëticae, in particular its second part De Poësi in Specie and its sixth chapter De Drammatibus, and its comparison to the sixth to eighteenth chapters of Aristotle’s Poetics make us think that a reflection of the phenomenon of Aristotle’s concept of mimesis as a principle of creative representation was established in the territory of today’s Slovakia in the course of the first half of the 18th century.

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.
