Main Topics:
This study contains a sample of model marriage sermons by Franciscans and Dominicans associated with thirteenth century Paris. The selection includes sermons by Pierre de Reims, Hugh de Saint Cher, Jean de la Rochelle, Pierre de Saint Benoit, Gerard de Mailly and Guibert de Tournai. To understand these texts properly it is recommended that they should be used with the supporting material in d'Avray, D. L. (2001) Medieval Marriage Sermons. Mass Communication in a Culture without Print, Oxford: OUP. (see http://www.oup.co.uk/pdf/0-19-820814-6.pdf (available August 2004)). Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
