The early historians of the Franciscan order traced the causes of
the troubles of the order in their time to Elias, a contemporary
and friend of St Francis and an early Minister General. Elias was
blamed for opening the way to all relaxations of discipline and
disregard of the founder's teaching, and all conflicts and
persecutions. Mrs Brooke shows that responsibility cannot be placed
on one man, but on many of the early friars. She gives a more
historical account of Elias, showing that he was never as dominant
a figure as has been supposed. The early conflicts of the order are
shown to have been more complex, more interesting and more probable
than the fourteenth-century controversialists would allow. The
second part of the book describes the achievements of Elias's
successors as Minister General, and the important laws they passed.
Mrs Brooke has been able to reconstruct the early constitutions,
now lost, in greater detail than has previously been attempted.
