EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Pope Urban II preaching the reconquest of the Holy Sepulchre Church at the Council of Clermont-Ferrand. The illustration is taken from Les Passages d'Outre-Mer by Sebastien Mamerot de Soissons, dating back to around 1490. In this mesmerizing image, we witness Pope Urban II passionately addressing a gathering of cardinals and knights within the grand nave of the church. Dressed in his cardinal robes and adorned with a majestic mitre, he stands tall on an elevated pulpit, commanding attention as he delivers his powerful speech. The scene exudes an air of anticipation and determination as crusaders listen intently to their leader's words. Illuminated by intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of medieval manuscripts, this artwork transports us back to the eleventh century when war was imminent and conquests were fervently pursued. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it marks the inception of what would become known as the First Crusade. Pope Urban II's call for action ignited a wave of religious fervor among Christians across Europe who sought to reclaim Jerusalem's holy sites from Muslim control. As we gaze upon this remarkable print held at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are reminded not only of historical events but also how art has preserved these moments for generations to come. It serves as a testament to human ambition, faith-driven endeavors, and our eternal quest
