Saint Vincent Ferrer, His World and Life: Religion and Society in Late Medieval Europe Hardcover - 2016 - 2016th Edition

by Philip Daileader


From the publisher

Born amidst the Black Death, Saint Vincent Ferrer is deemed one of the most famous preachers of medieval Europe. A constant traveler, Ferrer traversed Europe, preaching of the apocalypse's imminence, converting Jews and Muslims to Christianity, and working for moral reform. This study reassesses Ferrer's motives, controversial methods, and impact.

From the rear cover

The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were times of tumultuous change in medieval Europe; they witnessed the Black Death, the Great Papal Schism, heightened fears of the apocalypse, and the elimination of Spain's non-Christian population. Few figures were as widely and as intimately involved in late medieval Europe's struggles as Saint Vincent Ferrer. Perhaps the foremost preacher of his day, Ferrer spent the final two decades of his life traversing Europe, preparing the world for its imminent destruction. Saint Vincent Ferrer (d. 1419), His World and Life reassesses the controversial preacher's motives, methods, and impact, tracing Ferrer's journey from obscure logician to angel of the apocalypse, as he came to be known. At the same time, the book offers new insights into the depth and breadth of late medieval apocalyptic anticipation, and into the processes that ultimately led to the expulsions of Spain's Jews and Muslims.
