This book explores a neglected yet significant period of crusading preaching, 1305-1352. It focuses on the efforts of the first four Avignon popes to organise preaching campaigns to the Eastern Mediterranean and on the role of the secular and regular clergy in their implementation. The volume deals with two interlocking themes, the liturgy for the Holy Land and the popular response to crusade preaching, and analyses the surviving crusade sermons of Parisian theologians active between the papacies of Clement V and Clement VI. The book will be of interest both to specialized historians and to students of late medieval crusading.
