Introduction

Keeping the Judge in Mind: Representations of Justice in Late Medieval Sermons

Margarete Hubrath

Philosophische Fakultät, Abteilung Ältere Germanistik, Technische Universität Chemnitz, Reichenhainer Str. 39, D-09107 Chemnitz, Germany

The essay argues that the communicative functions of the German sermons of Berthold von Regensburg cannot be limited to the central aspect of spiritual welfare. These sermons also fulfil an important role in establishing legal maxims: behind their theological form, the texts mediate social and legal norms to be followed in everyday life.
