Summary:	For generations, the influence of later medieval Franciscans on subsequent scholarly developments has been widely acknowledged. However, the legacy of early Franciscan thought, as it developed in Franciscan thinkers who worked in the first half of the 13th century, remains largely unknown. In this study, leading scholars of both periods in the Franciscan intellectual tradition join forces to illustrate the unique role that the early Franciscan tradition played in forming the later Franciscan tradition and the traditions that it influenced in turn. --Back Cover.

Description
Summary:	The legacy of late medieval Franciscan thought is uncontested: for generations, the influence of late-13th and 14th century Franciscans on the development of modern thought has been celebrated by some and loathed by others. However, the legacy of early Franciscan thought, as it developed in the first generation of Franciscan thinkers who worked at the recently-founded University of Paris in the first half of the 13th century, is a virtually foreign concept in the relevant scholarship. The reason for this is that early Franciscans are widely regarded as mere codifiers and perpetrators of the earlier medieval, largely Augustinian, tradition, from which later Franciscans supposedly departed. In this study, leading scholars of both periods in the Franciscan intellectual tradition join forces to highlight the continuity between early and late Franciscan thinkers which is often overlooked by those who emphasize their discrepancies in terms of methodology and sources. At the same time, the contributors seek to paint a more nuanced picture of the tradition's legacy to Western thought, highlighting aspects of it that were passed down for generations to follow as well as the extremely different contexts and ends for which originally Franciscan ideas came to be employed in later medieval and modern thought.
