ABSTRACT John of Aragon (1301–34) was the son of James II of Aragon and Blanche of Anjou. He was appointed archbishop of Toledo in 1318 (at the age of seventeen) and was later transferred to the Archbishopric of Tarragona in 1328. His brief life and important positions in the Church did not prevent him from carrying out vital catechetical work and preaching. This article presents the main characteristics of his sermons, connecting them to Franciscan spirituality and to the moral reform of both the faithful and the clergy.

ABSTRACT The article deals with the antithetical presentations of the good priest and the fallen priest in the sermons of pre-Hussite synodal preachers. Based on a study of the contents of these sermons, the biblical and non-biblical authorities they use, and the connections between individual texts (both edited texts and those preserved only in medieval manuscripts), it complements previous research on the concept of the ideal priest with findings acquired from unedited sermons. The paper also reveals special aspects of the priest’s fall and explores the stark criticism aimed at fallen priests – especially how Antichrist, as both term and concept, was used and how it evolved from a mere metaphor to a reformational phenomenon.

ABSTRACT The preaching of cardinals at papal Avignon is known to have been of importance in terms of the quantity of sermons. The almost complete loss of these sermons begs for other approaches to assess the preaching than to analyse the extant texts. On the basis of this author’s PhD thesis, the cardinals are analysed to assess the importance of preaching materials as presented in the wills.

ABSTRACT In the religious controversy between Catholics and Protestants during the sixteenth century over the doctrine of justification, a primary issue had its origins in the teachings of Scripture as well as in church history. Theological exponents from both sides looked at writings, biographies, and sermons from the Middle Ages in order to make their argument for continuity in some way or other. This was the case for Waldensianism that according to Protestant propaganda was in opposition to the official Church but similarly claimed ancient origins that went back to the Apostolic Age. By looking at extant early Waldensian sermons from the Middle Ages, it is possible to see that this popular narrative was founded upon a forgery. The study shows the need for caution when approaching primary sources.

ABSTRACT The recurrent shepherding motif in the Bible gained even greater prominence from Jesus’s reference to himself as the Good Shepherd in John 10 and in related texts like the Lost Sheep of Luke 15 and the mission to feed the flock of God in Matthew 15 and i Peter 2. It was further promoted by the inclusion of those texts in lectionaries, and so shepherding became a regular topic of sermons. The analogy facilitated the connection between Christ as Shepherd and leaders caring for subordinates. The main practical lesson was on leadership, protection, and devotion, but the image also elicited lessons on the divine nature itself: its permanence, for example, and its providence and omniscience. The collation of Frater Petrus on the Good Shepherd offers a new witness to an interpretive tradition found in exegetes including Augustine, Bonaventure, and Nicholas of Cusa, but it is exclusively theological. This emphasis epitomizes the theological inclination of his other collations for a full year of Sundays and major feasts. The combined thematic and codicological evidence suggests that the collations of Frater Petrus were meant to reinforce a theological foundation for young mendicants before they moved on to preaching in the world.

Sedda, pp. 217–41 with a full table of contents of the most complete manuscript) offer sermons from Septuagesima Sunday (the third before Ash Wednesday) until the first Sunday after Easter. This may be understood as an attempt to expand the length (and, possibly, the depth) of religious instruction the preachers wanted to give to the laity in one continuous series of sermons. Although the editors of the anthology name ‘material history of Lenten sermonaries: copied, lent, sold and bought’ as one of the topics left unconsidered in the contributions (pp. 14–15), Mariani’s article, mentioned just above, does this job too. After summarizing the editorial history of the Quadragesimale de poenitentia, one of the first bestsellers of religious literature in print, he goes on to trace the afterlife of the volumes outside the printer’s shop, in libraries of ecclesiastical institutions and private persons, with the latter category including, for example, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. One of the niceties of many Italian scholarly journals is that they have yearly indices of (at least) names, thus making the contents of specialized studies more accessible for non-specialists. Unfortunately,Memorie Domenicane does not follow this practice, even though an index (preferably of subjects as well) would have made this rich anthology even more useful.
