The Spiritual Franciscans - From Protest to Persecution in the Century After Saint Francis

About the author

David Burr is Professor Emeritus of History at Virginia Tech. He is the author of numerous other books, including Olivi's Peaceable Kingdom: A Reading of The Apocalypse Commentary (1993).

Summary

This work offers a comprehensive history of the so-called Spiritual Franciscans, a protest movement within the Franciscan order. Burr shows that the movement existed as a loyal opposition in the late 13th century, but by 1318 Pope John XXII had forced it beyond the boundaries of legitimacy.
