Abstract | Crusade historians have long regarded the crusading indulgences a key concept for the promotion of the crusades as well as for the idea ofcrusading. Yet very little has been published on them in terms of specific studies. The purpose of this session is to present new research on crusade indulgences and crusade ideas, and the session will encompass both the formative period in the 12th century, the application of the concepts in the later middle ages, and their afterlife after the reformation. |
