Franciscan Literature of Religious Instruction before the Council of Trent
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-14026-4 (ISBN)
This book provides, for the first time, an exhaustive discussion of the Franciscan production of texts of religious instruction during the later medieval period (c. 1210-c. 1550). In eight chapters, it introduces the reader to the most important Franciscan sermon cycles, the Franciscan guidelines for living the life of evangelical perfection, the many Franciscan novice training manuals, the Franciscan catechisms and confession manuals, the Franciscan output of liturgical handbooks, the large number of Franciscan texts containing more wide-ranging forms of religious edification, and Franciscan prayer guides.
This book provides medievalists and Renaissance scholars alike with a new tool to assess the intellectual and religious transformations between the thirteenth and the sixteenth century, and contributes to the current re-interpretation of the late medieval pastoral revolution.
Bert Roest, Ph.D. (1996) University of Groningen, is Visiting Professor of Franciscan Studies at St. Bonaventure University, NY. He has published extensively on later medieval and early modern intellectual history. His publications include A History of Franciscan Education (Brill, 2000) and (together with Stephen Gersh) Medieval and Renaissance Humanism. Rhetoric, Representation and Reform (Brill, 2003).
