Jerusalem and the Cross in the Life and Writings of Ademar of Chabannes
Series: - Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, Volume: 181
Author:
The tenth and eleventh centuries are pivotal for the history of the West. The writings of Ademar of Chabannes, many of which are still unpublished, offer numerous insights into why these changes were occurring. Because his promotion of the cult of St. Martial of Limoges contains much that is exaggerated or even untrue, his writings have been viewed with suspicion. What this book seeks to do is make clear that such distrust is justified, but that there is much material in those manuscripts throwing light on the origins of the crusades, the rise of heresy, the great feudal warfare and the reality of apocalyptic fear.
Daniel F. Callahan, Ph.D. 1968, University of Wisconsin, Madison is Professor of Medieval History at the University of Delaware. Over the past 50 years he has published many articles on the manuscripts of Ademar of Chabannes.
