From the doctrines of the early Parisian Franciscans to the sixteenth-century Spanish disputes involving Franciscans and Dominicans, this collective volume covers three centuries of philosophical and theological thought. The Franciscan perspective is privileged to honor the memory of Marco Arosio (1963-2009), a specialist in the thought of Bonaventura da Bagnoregio, whose interests ranged also from the Franciscan masters of the first half of the thirteenth century to the preaching activity of Franciscan observance in the sixteenth century. The book consists of eleven essays, illustrating as many ‘itineraries’ of Franciscan thought, from Giovanni de La Rochelle to Bartolomeo da Colle, passing through Bonaventure, Riccardo di Mediavilla, Raimondo Lullo, who in old age became a Franciscan tertiary, Francesco di Meyronnes and Alessandro Bonini, known as Alexander of Alexandria.
