Abstract
There are around 100 Latin and 120 Middle High German sermons within the eckhartian corpus, as we know it today. Scholars have situated the majority of the German sermons within the last decade of Eckhart’s life. However, his interest for preaching is expressed in his work from the very beginning, and continues to infuse his whole career. What distinguishes his homiletic work from that of masters in theology, his peers, seems indeed to be his use of the vernacular and the attention given to literary form and to the publication of his sermons. Thus raising the question : why such an interest in the vernacular tongue ?File in questo prodotto:
