This is a single volume overview of the Franciscan Order, from the group's foundation in the early thirteenth century through to its ultimate division into Observant, Conventual and Capuchin branches in the early sixteenth century. As such, it's a useful introduction a broad swathe of history, with hefty footnotes and a bibliography well worth mining, but the very nature of such a work requires that Robson must sometimes be overly concise. Franciscan women particularly suffer because of this, with even the redoubtable Colette of Corbie receiving less than a page and Clare of Assisi a paragraph of consideration. The proofreading also seems very hasty at times (errors like "which was reviving the conditions of the halcyon days of the order in the middle of the thirteenth century 1450" shouldn't have crept in), some of the sources seem to have been used overly trustingly, and I felt that another revision pass would have helped to strengthen this book immensely. A good place to start, but not something to rely on, I think.

St Francis of Assisi is one of the most admired figures of the Middle Ages - and one of the most important in the Christian church, modelling his life on the literal observance of the Gospel and recovering an emphasis on the poverty experienced by Jesus Christ. From 1217 Francis sent communities of friars throughout Christendom and launched missions to several countries, including India and China. The movement soon became established in most cities and several large towns, and, enjoying close relations with the popes, its followers were ideal instruments for the propagation of the reforms of the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215. They quickly became part of the landscape of medieval life and made their influence felt throughout society. This book explores the first 250 years of the order's history and charts its rapid growth, development, pastoral ministry, educational organisation, missionary endeavour, internal tensions and divisions. Intended for both the general and more specialist reader, it offers a complete survey of the Franciscan Order. Dr MICHAEL ROBSON is a Fellow and Director of Studies in Theology at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
