Synopsis

The first critical edition of Caesarius' Omelie morales de infantia Saluatoris--Homilies on Jesus' Childhood.

Primarily known as the author of the Dialogus miraculorum--a collection of exemplary stories that secured his reputation as the master of Cistercian storytelling--Caesarius of Heisterbach was also the author of several sermons and homilies. Although they are not as well known today, his Homilies on Jesus' Childhood are exceptional in many ways. Readers will immediately notice Caesarius's versatility as he employs an impressive array of persuasive techniques: quoting scholarly works, interpreting Hebrew names and letters, delving into etymology and numerology, and including numerous examples to instruct both the learned and the common person.
