The fame of Quia maior – commonly considered one of the most important medieval papal crusade encyclicals – belies the fact that we actually know little about its composition at the curia of Pope Innocent III in 1213. This article compares a lesser‐known draft of the letter, Quoniam maior, preserved in the chronicle of Burchard of Ursberg, with Quia maior in order to reconstruct the debates and concerns of its authors during the composition process. It seeks to advance our understanding of Innocent’s conception of the crusade and offers new insights into how the papacy crafted crusade calls in the Middle Ages.

如何制作十字军呼吁：教皇英诺森三世和奎亚·马约尔 (1213)

Quia maior——通常被认为是最重要的中世纪教皇十字军通谕之一——的名声掩盖了这样一个事实，即我们实际上对 1213 年教皇英诺森三世的教廷中它的成分知之甚少。本文比较了鲜为人知的这封信的草稿, Quoniam maior，保存在 Ursberg 的 Burchard 编年史中，与 Quia maior 一起，以重建其作者在创作过程中的争论和关注点。它试图增进我们对 Innocent 十字军概念的理解，并提供对中世纪教皇如何策划十字军东征的新见解。
