The Martyrdom of the Franciscans

Islam, the Papacy, and an Order in Conflict

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Martyrdom of the Franciscans shows how, for Franciscans, martyrdom accounts could at once offer veiled critique of papal policies toward the Order, a substitute for the rigorous pursuit of poverty, and a way to symbolically overcome Islam by denying Muslims the solace of conversion.
