„Qui vult venire post me, abneget semet ipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me”. The proclamation of the 1514 Crusade

Summary/Abstract: The first main objective of this paper is to bring to our attention some aspects related to the organisation of the crusade from 1514. The classic and consacrated Romanian historiography tends to pay more attention to the analysis of the event only after its seditious metamorphosis. For a more profound understanding of the problem we believe that its nature must be known, which in conjunction with the context, the cultural and the canonical aspects, can provide explanations about its evolution and its outcome. Therefore, the key role was played by the Archbishop Strigoniensis, Bakócz Tamás, who was legatus latere of Pope Leo X. He was entrusted with the proclamation of the crusade, but a fundamental role was also played by the auxiliary elements such as different bishops and the observant branch of the Franciscan order. The problem has such dimensions that it would be impossible to enlighten the whole unclear situations related to the event from 1514 through one single study, but the paper’s objective is to draw the main lines of the proclamation and dissemination of the Crusade with a more detailed approach upon Transylvania.
