| Abstract | The aim of these sessions is to promote the dialogue within Franciscan studies in different disciplines, involving research on chronicles, religious treaties, collections of sermons, archival research, and art history. In the landscape of Mendicant Orders in the late Middle Ages (13th-14th century), the Order of Friars Minor engaged in a strong pastoral care activity by displaying their ideal of evangelical life, in poverty and humility, to provide responses to a Christian society continuously challenged by social tensions, wars, and political fights. In setting their mission in the world, the Friars Minor operated their evangelisation in an enormous variety of different geographical, political, cultural and social contexts. |
