[4] Special sermons, panegyrics for instance, might be preached after Mass. Both were called _sermones in mane_ in distinction from the afternoon _collatio_, which, however, might continue or confirm them. See LM, 223-226. [5] Quoted by LM, 289. [6] The evidence is so ample as to leave no further dispute, though there were naturally exceptions, as in the case of lay brothers in monasteries. See the review in either Bourgain or LM, and for the sermons of St. Bernard Mabillon’s introduction to PL 183. [7] E.g., Pierre de Blois (PL 207: 750) sends by request a written (Latin) version of a sermon preached in French, remarking that the Latin naturally has more amplitude. [8] As was suggested by Langlois, _L’éloquence sacrée au moyen âge_, Revue des deux mondes, 115 (Jan., 1893): 177. [9] Cruel, 338, has some racy bits from the Dominican Frater Peregrinus. [10] Samson, famous twelfth-century Abbot of St. Edmund’s, preached in two vernaculars, as well as in Latin. This, doubtless, and his Norfolk accent, seemed worthy of record. His command of Latin and one vernacular would hardly be mentioned. “Homo erat eloquens gallice et latine magis rationi dicendorum quam ornatui verborum innitens. Scripturam anglice scriptam legere novit elegantissime, et anglice sermonicari solebat populo, sed secundum linguam Norfolchie, ubi natus et nutritus erat; unde et pulpitum jussit fieri in ecclesia et ad utilitatem audiencium et ad decorem ecclesie.” _Cronica Jocelini de Brakelonda_, Camden Soc., London, 1840, page 30; “Rolls Series,” 96, vol. I, page 244. [11] _Sermones ad populum_, PL 141. [12] Bourgain, 86. [13] Bourgain, 48; LM, 45. [14] About 1273. See LM, 107-109. [15] See, e.g., Polheim, 390, on St. Anthony of Padua; Cruel, 337, on Frater Peregrinus. [16] Cardinal, bishop, historian, famous preacher; died 1240. [17] This, as well as their derivation from his own _sermones ad populum_, explains the title _sermones vulgares_. The scheme by books is: I. Advent to Septuagesima, tempus deviationis; II. Septuagesima to Easter, tempus revocationis; III. Easter to Pentecost, tempus reconciliationis; IV. Pentecost to Advent, tempus peregrinationis. V. Sancti Maiores, Commune Sanctorum. VI. Secundum Diversitatem Personarum. See LM, 55-58. [18] E.g., Étienne de Bourbon’s _Tractatus de diversis materiis prædicabilibus_, for which see LM, 113. See also Little (A.
