medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Pat
For the Dominican approach to study in the thirteenth and fourteenth
century see the excellent Mulchahey, M.M., First the bow is bent in
study: Dominican education before 1350 (Toronto, 1998).
Franciscan material is equally well covered in various works by Bert
Roest including
Roest, Bert, ‘Franciscan educational perspectives: reworking monastic
traditions’ in G. Ferzoco & Carolyn Muessig (eds), Medieval monastic
education (Leicester, 2000), pp 168–81.
Roest, Bert, ‘The discipline of the heart: pedagogies of prayer in
medieval Franciscan works of religious instruction’ in T.J. Johnson
(ed.), Franciscans at prayer (Leiden, 2007), pp 413–48.
Roest, Bert, A history of Franciscan education (c.1210–1517) (Leiden,
2000).
Roest, Bert, Reading the book of history (Groningen, 1996).
Both authors provide comprehensive bibliographies and Bert and
Maarten van der Heijden are moderators of a very good Franciscan
resource website mostly dealing with medieval Franciscan writers.
If you are interested in the educational of the Irish mendicants
during this period you might to contact me off list.
With best wishes,
