Abstract
Abstract Referring to medieval conceptions of history modern medievalists currently employ the terms ,,Heilsgeschichte,“ ,,salvation history,“ ,,history of salvation,“ ,,histoire du Salut”, or similar ones, whereas the seemingly corresponding term historia salutis is extremely rare in the medieval texts: among the Latin Christian authors up to 1200 only two, Petrus Damiani and Rupert of Deutz use it – not often ‐ in their writings. My contribution explores the meaning these authors attach to the term, and takes a look at its patristic precedents. Different from the modern concept, the medieval historia salutis does not associate salvation with history as a general process, but with the life and deeds – the history ‐ of Jesus Christ as a person.
