The roles of popes, saints, and crusaders were inextricably intertwined in the Middle Ages: papal administration was fundamental in the making and promulgating of new saints and in financing crusades, while crusaders used saints as propaganda to back up the authority of popes, and even occasionally ended up being sanctified themselves. Yet, current scholarship rarely treats these three components of medieval faith together. This book remedies that by bringing together scholars to consider the links among the three and the ways that understanding them can help us build a more complete picture of the working of the church and Christianity in the Middle Ages.|This book brings together scholars to consider the links among the roles of popes, saints, and crusaders and the ways that understanding them can help us build a more complete picture of the working of the church and Christianity in the Middle Ages.

It is the merit of this volume [...] to assess and highlight the flexible and adaptable nature of the medieval Latin Church, its intricate administrative practices and mechanisms, its labyrinthine record keeping and intertwined interests that blend together saints and scholars, bureaucrats and miracle witnesses, popes and pagans. The successful combination of various methodologies, from case studies to reflective surveys, is presented in an academic format, each article being accompanied by a Bibliography divided into unpublished sources, printed archival records and secondary literature.- Ciprian Adinel Dinca, Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Recensiones librorum (2021).
