Abstract

Among the numerous musical works on Judith, the A. has selected some of the most representative oratorios of the 18th century to represent the variety of meanings attributed to the biblical heroine. Depending on the historical, political and religious context, Judith is a symbol of the divine justice, of the Church, of the Virgin, and her triumph is both the victory over an allegorical enemy and over a real enemy of Christianity and of the Roman Church.
