With the treatment of the first recorded Slovene play, this article makes an attempt to give a concise portrayal of the main lines of interest for its studying. The elucidation of the literary and historical background concerning the origins of the Passion is attempted in order to ascertain its genre and a special concordance with the basic principles of the Baroque literary and art period. The placement into three different standards of the Baroque, which also signify the different levels of representation, was used to present the complexity of the Baroque in general and to open up the problem of the status ascribed to the literary work of that period. A linguistic, and above all, a detailed stylistic analysis was applied to confirm the appropriate literary and theoretical definition of the Škofja Loka Passion and to touch upon the still non-researched ways of examining this dramatic piece.
