More DescriptionThe studies in this volume are based on an unrivalled mastery of the manuscript sources and, taken together, provide a key insight into the religious culture of the Middle Ages. Louis-Jacques Bataillon sets out the place the sermon had in medieval society, how different categories of sermon can be distinguished, how they were transmitted and why. The coverage is wide, including nearly all the figures and collections that are of significance in the history of preaching in France and Italy in the 13th century, and particular attention is given to the use of imagery. At the same time, the studies throw much light on the universities of the time, and reconstruct the relationships between sermons and other literary, theological and philosophical types of work.C'est une maîtrise des sources écrites sans rivale qui se trouve à la base des études contenues dans ce volume et, prises ensemble, elles permettent de pénetrer la culture religieuse du Moyen ge de façon importante. Louis-Jacques Bataillon y explique la place que tenait le sermon dans la société médiévale, la façon dont on peut distinguer différents types de sermons, comment ceux-ci étaient transmis et pourquoi. Le sujet couvert est vaste, comprenant la plupart des personnages et des collections majeurs dans l'histoire de la prédication en France et en Italie au 13e siècle; l'auteur prête une attention toute particulière à l'utilisation des images. Par ailleurs, ces études apportent un certain nombre d'éclaircissements sur les universités de l'époque et reconstruisent les rapports entre sermons et autres travaux littéraires, théologiques et philosophiques.
