Oration ”Expectatis” of Pope Pius II (19 September 1463, Rome). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. Final version (2025). (Orations of Enea Silvio Piccolomini / Pope Pius II; 73)
Résumé
In the summer of 1463, an embassy from Duke Philippe III of Burgundy reached Pope Pius II to present the duke’s contribution to a crusade against the Turks, including a promise to participate in person if the pope did so. The offer was formally made in an oration, the “Si ut inquit Cicero”, by the Bishop of Tournai at a meeting in Rome on 19 September with the participation of embassies from the Italian states. The pope replied with the oration “Expectatis”, in which he praised the duke, announced the formation of a crusading army, and reaffirmed his own determination in the matter of the crusade.
