This attribution is unsupported by any published speech, letter, or bull of Urban II. It appears to originate in the work cited above, as no earlier attribution can be found. It most likely refers to the papal bull of Urban II Bullæ Sacræ Cruciatæ Dilucidatio, dated between 1096-1099. The text of this papal bull is currently untranslated into English but summarized in the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913). The response of Bernard appears to be from the Christian Bible, Jeremiah 48:10 KJV, "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood." It is unclear that Bernard quoted the Christian Bible in this context; the attribution by Kirby Page is unsupported. (en) |
