The 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.
