Abstract
The extant crusade model sermons of the thirteenth century have attracted
increasing scholarly attention over the past few decades. A series of invaluable
studies by historians such as Penny Cole, Christoph Maier, Nicole Bériou,
Jessalynn Bird, and Alexis Charansonnet has made these fascinating texts more
widely accessible and shed considerable light on their composition, dissemination, sources, rhetorical strategies, themes, and impact. This new book by Miikka Tamminen explicitly builds on the work of these scholars and explores how concepts of the ‘true’ or ideal crusader were constructed and promoted in the model sermons and preaching aids composed by a group of crusade preachers who had all either studied or taught at the University of Paris at some stage: Phillipe le Chancelier, Jacques de Vitry, Roger of Salisbury, Eudes de Châteauroux, Humbert de Romans, Federico Visconti, and Guibert de Tournai.
