medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
George,
Was it that straightforward? Preachers moved about a lot. Their mutual knowledge of Latin meant that they could converse with each other, but, for example, when St. Bernard made a preaching tour of Germany, if the sermons were to be in the vernacular, he would have had to have a translator handy, I would imagine.
Cheers,
Jim

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Al,
It was the norm, throughout the medieval period, for sermons to be delivered in the vernacular understood by its audience.
Do ask Tennessee Bob to join us … This way, he can answer any queries we may have about his own queries.
Best wishes, George

Specifically these words "ut easdem omelias quisque aperte transferre studeat in rusrkam Romanam linguam aut Theotiscam, quo facilius cuncti possint intellegere quae dicuntur". Were sermons, without the urging of conciliar pronouncement, delivered in whatever English or Anglo-Saxon was spoken in each region?
