Plural of didascalia; ancient records or dedications that documented stage productions and their authors in Greek and Roman theater.
From Latin 'didascalia,' derived from Greek 'didaskalia' (instruction, teaching), referring to official theatrical records that instructed audiences about the productions.
Ancient didascaliae are like the playbills and credits of ancient theater—they're incredibly valuable because they're often our only source for knowing who wrote what play thousands of years ago.
