Talk:Council of Clermont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
hi where is the image taken from ? where does it appear ?
thanx nir_evron@yahoo.com
As I posted on the Reference desk:
- I think I got the image itself from http://www.churchofsaginaw.org/churchstory/crusades.htm. It's a pretty common image on the internet; it comes from a painting in a manuscript written about 1490, which is located in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The date and place info about the image, although not the image itself because it wasn't as good a copy, comes from http://www.unf.edu/classes/crusades/, the homepage for a class taught by Paul Halsall, probably the most trustworthy source for crusade info on the Internet. Unfortunately I don't know the name (or the shelf mark) of the manuscript, if you wanted to go to Paris to look it up, but I hope this helps! Adam Bishop 04:15, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Another Council of Clermont of 535
Some kind of disambig has to be done. There was another Council (or Synod) of Clermont in 535 [1] [2] [3] Thoughts? ←Humus sapiens←ну? 09:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Indeed. "The Council of Clermont" refers to ANY of the medieval church councils held within the Diocese of Clermont-Ferrand (Auvergne, France). For example, another notable "Council of Clermont" is Clermont (1130): see the entry for the Second Lateran Council. More info on Council of Clermont (535):
- The chief event of the episcopate (bishop-hood) of St. Gal (A.D. 527 to 551) was the Council of Clermont (535). Fifteen prelates of the kingdom of Austrasia assisted at it under the presidency of Honoratus, Bishop of Bourges. {more info: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06335b.htm }
- This could be partially resolved by moving the current article (main page) to Council of Clermont (1095).

- I think it would be best to disambiguate the councils of 535 and 1130...this one is far more well-known and the overwhelmingly most likely intended target of a search. Adam Bishop 16:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Another point
While I think work still needs to be done to address the Council of Clermont (535) issue, I find it somewhat disturbing that no mention is made, anywhere in the article, which Clermont hosted this Council... Tomertalk 02:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
