Property Rights in the Late Medieval Discussion on Franciscan
Poverty contributes to our understanding of the history of the
concept of individual natural rights by tracing the controversies
surrounding the Franciscan ideal of absolute poverty from the 1250s
to the 1320s. Virpi Makinen, Th.D., analyzes the complex legal,
moral, and theological arguments for and against the Franciscan
ideal of giving up all rights over property - an ideal that the
Franciscans argued was in perfect imitation of Christ and the
Apostles. Makinen pays particular attention to the concepts of
rights, especially to the distinctions between dominion (dominium),
right (ius) and factual use (usus facti). She discusses the
arguments made by both the defenders of the Franciscan claim of
apostolic poverty (Bonaventure and Bonagratia of Bergamo) and the
attackers, most of whom were secular clerics (such as William of
Saint-Amour, Gerard of Abbeville, Henry of Ghent, and Godfrey of
Fontaines). Makinen then analyzes the support the Order received
from the papacy, and how this support was undermined by Pope John
XXII's vehement attack on the Franciscans in the 1320s. The book
shows how the debate concerning Franciscan poverty gave rise to a
new language of rights, which paved the way to the idea of
individual natural rights.
