| Sumario: | This essay compares James of Vitry’s crusade sermon models with Llull’s most extensive treatise on crusading, De fine and shows that the aspects of crusade ideology which they share are rooted in the penitential theology which developed throughout the course of the thirteenth century. The comparison has implications for the role of preaching and homiletic materials in Llull’s own intellectual and religious formation and for the centrality of preaching and rhetorical concerns in his thought. The study also contributes to our understanding of the persistence of enthusiasm for the crusade into the later middle ages and leads to a greater appreciation of the role that preaching played in that persistence. Most importantly, it points to Llull as representative of a crucial development in later medieval religious culture that came increasingly to emphasize the notion that religion was something that one practiced, not simply a set of propositions to be believed. |
