Abstract
This essay compares two medieval tractates on preaching, the Ars concionandi and the Tractatulus solemnis. The purpose of this comparison is to illustrate the importance of examining the theological assumptions underlying the various “artes praedicandi” written during the Middle Ages. Both tractates say much about preaching that sounds similar, but each rests on a separate set of theological assumptions. Only by attending to these assumptions can we understand crucial differences in the portraits of preaching which the tractates paint.Keywords
