This is a tenth century play composed by the Frankish nun, Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim. It entails the conversion of the courtesan Thaïs. The holy monk Paphnutius, following the example of Abraham, goes to find Thaïs under the guise of a lover. He converted her and imposed as penance on her the need to remain confined in a narrow cell for five years. Thaïs by this just expiation is reconciled to the Lord. Fifteen days after having completed her penance, she fell asleep in the bosom of Christ.
