Between Realities and Ideals Writing the Reform in Franciscan Observant Chronicles
Original language description
This study examines the discourse of reform within the Franciscan Observant movement through an analysis of two late medieval chronicles: Nicolaus Glassberger’s Chronica ordinis minorum observantum and Bernardino Aquilano’s Chronica fratrum minorum observantiae. It argues that these chronicles served not only as historical records but as strategic tools for legitimizing the Observants’ identity, promoting their spiritual ideals, and dealing with the socio-political landscapes of the fifteenth century. The Observants, advocating a return to Franciscan poverty and humility, positioned themselves as reformers against the perceived laxity of Conventual Franciscans, deploying narratives to assert continuity with St. Francis while adapting to late medieval challenges.
