The Exempla or Illustrative Stories from the Sermones Vulgares of Jacques De Vitry

Jacques de Vitry

  1. Jacques de Vitry studied theology at Paris and was ordained as a priest. He preached first in favor of the crusade against the Albigenses. The following year he led a large army of crusaders to the siege of Toulouse. He next preached a crusade against the Saracens. He was then elected bishop of Acre, approved by the Pope and consecrated. Later he again played a prominent role in the crusade; wrote his well-known historical work; resigned his bishopric, and devoted himself again to preaching the crusade against the Albigenses; was made a cardinal, and bishop of Tusculum; and finally, was elected patriarch of Jerusalem. His Exempla in the Sermones Vulgares , ad status or ad omne hominum genus, have been edited with great learning by Thomas Frederick Crane, and is considered the best work on the subject.
