Editorial Reviews
Review
'... extremely useful for teaching the crusades ... This volume forms a valuable addition to the library of crusade texts and to the study of how the Cross was preached in a period when the devotional aspect of crusading was in full flower.' The English Historical Review
'... Maier's work is a valuable and significant contribution to the study of medieval sermons and the crusades.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
'... a precious contribution not only to the literature on the crusades, but also to that on preaching and the role of mendicants in the new spirituality of the thirteenth century.' Cristianesimo nella storia
Book Description
This book presents an edition of seventeen manuscript sermon texts for the preaching of the crusades from the thirteenth to the early fourteenth centuries by five prominent scholars and churchmen. The majority of these texts have never been printed before. These sermons are unique sources for the study of the crusades and medieval preaching, two vibrant areas of medieval studies in both academic teaching and research. Accompanying the Latin texts is an English translation, making these sources accessible to a wider circle of students and scholars.
