Abstract

This article explores the exceptional Liber Sermonum composed by Martin of León around 1200. First, it describes the work in its manuscript form, illuminating the historical context of its production. Then, the article maps the occurrence of motifs pertinent to crusading throughout the Liber. This data unveils Martin's expertise and, thus, involvement in several crusade arenas, straddling action against scholastics, Jews, heretics and 'pagans' (that is, Muslims). Lastly, three texts of the Liber are analysed in-depth: A Palm Sunday sermon evidences Martin's involvement in depth the Third Crusade and anti-heretical action; a treatise on the Acts of the Apostles shows how he tried to promote popular preaching in León; and a treatise on rogation liturgy elucidates how a providential logic entangled various crusade arenas despite their geographical distance. The methodological tools developed for identifying 'the crusade' in these texts demonstrate the pertinence of liturgical sermons for studying the crusade movement.

独特的自由讲道的马丁León (c.1130-1203)：第三次十字军东征，大众说教和礼仪的前线。

这篇文章探讨了由León的马丁在1200年左右创作的特殊的《自由布道》。首先，它描述了其手稿形式的工作，阐明了其生产的历史背景。然后，这篇文章描绘了在整个《自由》中与十字军相关的主题的出现。这些数据揭示了马丁的专业知识，因此，他参与了几个讨伐领域，跨越了反对经院学者、犹太人、异教徒和“异教徒”（即穆斯林）的行动。最后，对《圣经》的三个文本进行了深入的分析：一篇棕枝主日讲道证明了马丁深入参与了第三次十字军东征和反异端行动；一篇关于使徒行传的论文显示了他是如何试图在León推广大众布道的；一篇关于祈祷仪式的论文阐明了天意逻辑是如何将不同的十字军战场纠缠在一起的，尽管它们在地理上相距遥远。在这些文本中为识别“十字军东征”而开发的方法论工具表明了研究十字军东征运动的礼仪布道的针对性。
