A concise and accessible history of four of the monastic orders in
the middle ages. In 1274 the Council of Lyons decreed the end of
various "new orders" of Mendicants which had emerged during the
great push for evangelism and poverty in the thirteenth-century
Latin Church. The Franciscans and Dominicans were explicitly
excluded, while the Carmelites and Austin friars were allowed a
stay of execution. These last two were eventually able to acquire
approval, but other smaller groups, in particular the Friars of the
Sack and Pied Friars, were forced to disband. This book outlines
the history of those who were threatened by 1274, tracing the
development of the two larger orders down to the Council of Trent,
and following the fragmentary sources for the brief histories of
the discontinued friaries. For the first time these orders are
treated comparatively: the volume offers a total history, from
their origins, spirituality and pastoral impact, to their music,
buildings and runaways. FRANCES ANDREWS is Professor in Mediaeval
History at the University of St Andrews.
