- Authors
STOREY, H. Wayne
- Abstract
The article discusses Franciscan paradigms and controversies related to the works of Dante Alighieri, wherein particular focus is given on the "Divine Comedy." It explores the canto "Paradiso" dedicated to the life and glory of Saint Dominic, which was praised and presented by the Franciscan Bonaventure from Bagnoreggio. It examines the tensions between two reformist orders such as the Dominicans and the Franciscans as presented in "Paradiso XI." It mentions that the Franciscan studium in Santa Croce, Italy played a role in the intellectual formation of Dante. It adds that the adherence of Dante to Olivian and Joachite interpretations of the parallel histories of the Church in the Old and New Testaments was observed throughout his work.
