Dear Eve, This is a fascinating topic (though I still think a very extensive one, especially since you appear to approach it very broadly). There is an internet edition of Riccoldo da Monte Croce's "libellus ad nationes orientales": http://www.ou.dk/hum/kvj/riccoldo/IntroF.html Cheers, Christoph > You request that I explain further the theme that I am currently > pursuing. The working title for my dissertation is 'How Did the > Mendicant Friars of the Thirteen Century Approach the Non-Latin > Christians?'. My starting point (at the moment) is the 5th/6th century > schismatics: Nestorians, Coptics, Greek, Syrian and Armenian churches; > explaining their doctrinal differences, amongst themselves and naturally > with Catholicism. I then want to ascertain who the Mendicants were, that > they came about during the pontificate of Innocent III and what their > role in society was deemed to be. **************************************************************** Dr. Christoph Cluse, FB III - Institut fuer Geschichte der Juden DM-Gebaeude, Postf. 12, Universitaet, 54286 Trier, Germany http://www.uni-trier.de/uni/fb3/geschichte/haverkamp/amigj/start.htm tel. ++49-651-201-3303 / fax 3293 ************************************************************ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
