Mendicants in Spain: Religion and Reform
Description: With the appointment of Ximenes de Cisneros in the 1490s as
lead reformer of both the Franciscans and the Spanish Church in general,
the Catholic Kings gave official status to the internal reform of the
Spanish Franciscans that had begun in the early fifteenth century.
Although one issue of the Archivo Ibero-Americano was devoted to the
fifteenth century Franciscan reform, most scholars focus on the results
of
the official reform in the early sixteenth century after it became
pan-peninsular. Likewise, scholars of reform or Franciscan spirituality
have tended to ignore the presence and influence of the Dominican Order
in
the realms governed by the Catholic Kings. This session welcomes any
proposals on the topic of the mendicants and religious reform in Spain,
but we are especially interested in papers that explore either the
grassroots stage of the Franciscan reform from new perspectives (such as
art history, religious studies, history of interreligious dialogue), or
the interconnections or confrontations between the Franciscans and
Dominicans during the age of reform.
Proposals due by Sept 15 to the organizer:
