Foundations of Franciscan Studies offers a clear, source-driven map of Franciscan origins, texts, and debates.
This concise guide surveys primary writings, chronicles, and key discussions that shaped the understanding of St. Francis and his order. Drawing on early lives, legal rules, and monumental histories, it helps readers identify authoritative sources and follow how interpretations evolved over time.
The book frames the study around the principal works and moments that define Franciscan history. It covers the authentic writings of St. Francis, the earliest lives, important chronicles, and a range of controversial writings that influenced the order’s direction. It also surveys the developing rules and how different factions within the order argued over poverty, authority, and practice, including the perspectives of the Spiritual Friars and their opponents. The discussion extends to related figures like St. Clare and the way their rules and leadership affected the Cloistered and Mendicant traditions.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
