Abstract | Not only the crusades themselves became institutionalised by the end of the 12th century, but also the promoting of the crusades. Preachers and papal legates were sent out and manuscripts as well as artwork were commissioned and spread throughout Europe, all to achieve the ultimate goal: the recapture of Jerusalem. These sessions discuss crusade preaching and propaganda from the 11th to the 15th century and draw comparisons between different regions in Europe and the Levant. The aim of these sessions is to combine crusade studies with the fields of sermon studies, the study of papal government, and textual and manuscript studies. |
