Abstract

Abstract Scholars have dealt extensively with the sermon held by Urban II at the Council of Clermont to launch the First Crusade. There is indeed much room for speculation, since the original text has been lost and we have to rely on the reports of it in chronicles. But the scholarly discussion is mostly based on the same sort of sources: the chronicles and their references to letters and charters. Not much attention has been paid so far to the genre of papal synodal sermons in the Middle Ages. In this article, I focus on the tradition of papal oratory, using this background to look at the call for crusade from a new perspective. Firstly, I analyse the versions of the Clermont sermon in the crusading chronicles and compare them with the only address held by Urban II known from a non-narrative source. Secondly, I discuss the sermons of Gregory VII as they are recorded in synodal protocols and in historiography. The results support the view that only the version reported by Fulcher of Chartres corresponds to a sort of oratory common to papal speeches in the eleventh century.

乌尔班二世在克莱蒙特的布道与教皇演讲的传统
学者们对乌尔班二世在克莱蒙特会议上举行的第一次十字军东征布道进行了广泛的研究。确实有很大的猜测空间,因为原始文本已经丢失,我们不得不依靠编年史上的报道。但学术上的讨论大多基于同一种来源:编年史及其对信件和宪章的参考。到目前为止,人们对中世纪教皇会议布道的类型还没有给予太多关注。在这篇文章中,我将重点放在教皇演讲的传统上,利用这一背景从一个新的角度来看待十字军东征的呼吁。首先,我分析了十字军编年史中克莱蒙特布道的版本,并将它们与乌尔班二世从非叙事来源中所知的唯一一次演讲进行了比较。其次,我将讨论格列高利七世的布道,因为它们被记录在会议协议和史学中。研究结果支持这样一种观点,即只有富尔彻报道的版本符合11世纪教皇演讲的一种常见演讲。
