The post on Franciscan education mirrors one of my longstanding
difficulties. I have to teach the OFMs in a two quarter medieval survey
and I am constantly frustrated at the lack of scholarly approaches to
Franciscan history. Are there any good general surveys of this movement
that are not infused with the piety or sentimentality that seems to
characterize so much of Francisan literature (understandable as it may
be)?
