ABSTRACT It is rare to be able to trace the sharing of ideas among a network of preachers from surviving narrative evidence, letters, reportationes, and sermon collections. It is rarer yet to be able to link liturgy, sermons, and artwork to reconstruct how their audiences might have received and interpreted these messages. However, this article accomplishes precisely that, by examining how the crusade, particularly the fight against heresy and the capture of Damietta in Egypt, was presented by a network of individuals involved in the promotion of the crusade movement to audiences in the crusader camp and on the home front. These individuals, most of them trained or active in Paris, include: Peter of Roissy, Absalon and John the Teuton, abbots of Saint Victor, Jacques de Vitry and Oliver of Paderborn, Innocent III and Honorius III, Philip the Chancellor, John Halgrin of Abbeville, Odo of Cheriton, Thomas of Chobham, and Odo of Châteauroux. Preachers adapted materials familiar from collections of sermones de tempore and de sanctis, that is, sermons for the dedication of churches (and the anniversary of them) and for the Purification of the Virgin Mary (Candlemas) to the preaching of the Fifth and Albigensian crusades and the crusade of Louis IX, and spiritual and psychological connections to the Holy Land and anti-heretical crusades were then rewoven back into sermons for the devotional year. This article is part of a larger project tracing this process, and a table of sermons consulted is appended.

ABSTRACT The article investigates the presence of Dante in a sermon of the Quadragesimale printed under the name of Johannes Gritsch, one of the main sermon bestsellers in late medieval Europe. Albeit quite in plain sight, this text that translates into Latin and comments extensively on Paradiso 33. 1–9 has been completely overlooked by sermon and Dante scholars. By analysing this Dantean passage and by contextualizing it within the Quadragesimale, the article underlines its relevance within the broader phenomenon of the use of the Commedia in late medieval preaching in and outside Italy. On this latter aspect, the sermon under investigation is a game changer. While a few German preachers who used sermons composed in Italy that included references to Dante were already known, this time we encounter a German Franciscan friar who, when composing sermons meant first and foremost for a German audience, engaged with a passage of the Commedia. He did so probably knowing nothing about Dante, perhaps not even his name. As a result, mediated by preachers and detached from its original cultural context, a fragment of the Commedia found its way on a prodigious journey across Europe.

ABSTRACT This article examines the specific image of a knightly Christ applied to historical kings, in two late medieval sermons. The article situates these examples within the context of contemporary textual representations of kingship, both in sermons generally and in the ‘mirrors for princes’ genre. My aim is to contextualize and thereby understand the purposes of the two sermons which present a distinctive representation of kingship. With only these two known examples, this instance of the Christ-knight is a minor but important strand of the motif, and impacts the way in which scholars should consider both Christocentric devotion and notions of late medieval kingship.
