Although intimately connected these three are rarely studied in relation to each other. Thomas Aquinas’s sermons on the beatitudes (Matthew 5. 1–10) can be compared to his commentary on Matthew and the Summa Theologiae. This opens up a new perspective on the sermons, addressing some of the questions they raise. The edition of Aquinas’s sermons by Louis Bataillon is instrumental in performing this task and will therefore be considered in greater detail. The present article seeks to contribute to Medieval Sermon Studies by way of a more theological approach and to present to theologians the importance of a greater appreciation for the sermons of the masters.","PeriodicalId":38182,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Sermon Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"60 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13660691.2019.1662564","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42212909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survival in a single manuscript of two sermons, preached by prominent Dominicans in the private chapel of Cardinal Pierre des Prés in the spring of 1340, may provide some insight in the phenomenon of private preaching at Avignon. Similar – not identical, but very similar – in structure, tone, and topoi to sermons preached before the popes during the solemn liturgies of the Avignonese chapel, the two private texts seem to suggest that private preaching at Avignon grew up in imitation of the liturgical sermons of the papal chapel, but without the ceremonial context.","PeriodicalId":38182,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Sermon Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"21 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13660691.2019.1662550","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46407260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L’ajout de textes concernant ces derniers à la partie intitulée Rendre présent l’invisible est bien justifiée, puisque les anges dans le christianisme appartiennent à une autre catégorie que les saints. Il est plus surprenant que le dernier chapitre, L’intercession dans les sermons de la Toussaint ait été incorporé dans cette partie, et non dans la suivante. La troisième partie, Des saints façonnés par la Parole, évoque cette autre association avec le nom communio, à savoir la communion des saints – figures peuplant non seulement « l’Église triomphante » et intercédant pour les fidèles, mais aussi présentes dans le message des sermons. Parmi ces figures, celles liées à la tradition franciscaine forment un sous-groupe : les chapitres XIII et XIV consacrés à saint François et le chapitre XV à sainte Claire. Il est également question de sainte Marie Madeleine, saint Pierre, saint Barthélémy et saint Michel. Le chapitre Prédication et communication du message religieux. Le tournant du XIII siècle, faisant partie du livre publié en 2006, Annoncer l’Évangile (XV-XVII). Permanences et mutations de la prédication, a été choisi pour tenir lieu d’Introduction du volume. Il décrit l’élan qu’avait pris la prédication au XIII siècle pour devenir la forme de communication religieuse par excellence. Cette introduction fournit donc au lecteur des balises pour s’orienter dans le courant de la réflexion des chapitres qui suivent. On y trouve décrits trois espaces où la communication par la prédication se développe au XIII siècle : les écoles, les cloîtres et les villes. Les prédicateurs y sont en quête d’une communication efficace, remplissant ainsi leur vocation à semer la Bonne Nouvelle pour amener tous les hommes à la communion avec le Christ et avec « l’Église triomphante » des saints et saintes.

Drawing on the results of paleographic, codicological and textual analysis of codex Ms 434, the authors explore what the manuscript record of the sermons reveals about the genesis of the texts and Peter of Zittau's working methods. Particular attention is paid to the numerous corrections which were added to the text of the sermons (as copied into the codex by a scribe) by a different contemporary hand. Based on an analysis of the nature of these corrections and a comparison of the handwriting with that of Peter of Zittau (as known from the autograph of the second book of his Chronica Aulae regiae), the paper tests the hypothesis that the author of the corrections in manuscript Ms 434 was Peter of Zittau himself.","PeriodicalId":38182,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Sermon Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"42 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13660691.2019.1662554","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41370931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper calls that narrative into question. Records of episcopal administration and surviving sermon books of monastic provenance, including manuscripts from Worcester and Durham cathedrals, provide evidence for pastoral care of the laity and popular preaching by cloistered religious in thirteenth-century England. This would indicate that some monks and canons were contributors and not mere bystanders to the pastoral revolution that shaped later medieval lay religion. In addition to providing evidence, the article points towards previously neglected sources where more is likely to be found.","PeriodicalId":38182,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Sermon Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"30 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13660691.2019.1662552","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49266762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bernardino da Siena’ to be published. The editorial project, coordinated by Daniele Solvi and Alessandra Bartolomei Romagnoli, intends to cover the fifteenth-century hagiographical corpus of vitae of St Bernardino of Siena in four volumes. This will help scholars re-evaluate the complex construction of the hagiographical profile(s) of this canonized preacher. In 2014, the book containing the texts produced between 1450 and 1460, immediately after Bernardino’s canonization (see the review in Medieval Sermon Studies, 59 [2015], 88–90), was published. While the first volume of the series, which will focus on the vitae written during the process of canonization (i.e. 1444–50), is still missing, the present book provides scholars with seven texts (two of them with a double version) that span over one century, from the 1460s to the 1570s, thus covering the period of the sedimentation and crystallization of the official memory of the new saint.

The medieval Danish translation of Consolation of the Soul – Sjælens trøst – is extant in two separate pieces (Ups. C 509 and Holm. A 109) of what was once a single manuscript. The two separate pieces do not, however, make a whole and part of the Sjælens trøst manuscript is missing. However, the Copenhagen fragment is not part of this missing piece. In fact, it belongs to an entirely different text tradition – Étienne de Bourbon’s Tractatus de diversis materiis praedicabilibus – and is a remnant of a translation of (part of) this collection of exempla. As such, it is a significant addition to our knowledge of medieval preaching in Denmark and the use of vernacular translations of continental, Latin didactic material in exempla.","PeriodicalId":38182,"journal":{"name":"Medieval Sermon Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"20 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13660691.2019.1680149","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49103810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
