| Abstract | This session explores various forms of reactions to the Dominican ideal of poverty. Cornelia Linde's paper, dealing with the classic controversy between Franciscans and Dominicans, examines an English altercation from 1269 that extended beyond the two orders to involve the University of Oxford. The second paper, by Johnny Jakobsen, also explores an aspect of hostile reception by highlighting monastic criticism of Dominican poverty in Scandinavia. Ingrid Würth, finally, brings to light a positive mode of reception by exploring how Dominican ideas of poverty were adopted and adapted by the Servite Order. Together, the three papers aim to show different forms of reception of and reaction to the Dominican interpretation of the contentious issue of apostolic poverty. |
