Predigen Im Karolingerreich: Die Homiletischen Sammlungen Von Paulus Diaconus, Lanthpertus Von Mondsee, Rabanus Maurus Und Haymo Von Auxerre [German]

By Christoph Galle

Book Overview

By supporting the Christianization process within their realm, Carolingian rulers not only served matters of faith, obedience, and healing of the soul; they also intended to unify the conquered tribes, remove their pagan traditions, and strengthen royal power. Carolingian sermon collections provide significant insights into the cultural, political, and social background to the process of Christianization in the Carolingian world. Five sample collections compiled by leading intellectuals are now explored extensively and comparatively for the first time.
