FRANCISCAN AUTHORS, 13TH - 18TH CENTURY: A CATALOGUE IN PROGRESS
The following alphabetical list of Franciscan authors, with concise biographical remarks and information on manuscripts, editions and studies, is far from complete, yet continually growing. On average, we install an updated version of each individual segment every three months. For our website, we make use of a wide range of different research instruments.
In the course of building this site, we stumble on a lot of additional materials that we try to present in a series of bibliographies on specific topics, for instance on medieval and Franciscan preaching etc.
We are acutely aware of the limitations of this site, yet we are continually improving, and we hope that it will be a source of valuable information and not just of frustration. We invite all of you to send us your comments.
If you do not see the alphabetical list left of this screen, please find it here.
