This understanding is anachronistic, however, and overlooks the more complicated disputes over what it meant for enclosed women to have a mendicant vocation. This book clarifies Clare?s contributions to these debates by distinguishing the historical figure from the uses made of her legacy by the papacy, the Friars Minor, and, most importantly, the enclosed sisters between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. By examining the diversity of female communities and their complicated institutional formation in medieval Italy, it examines how and when Clare was appropriated as a model of spiritual authority by the women to shape their identity as Franciscans. 410 0$aMedieval Franciscans ;$vv. 5. 606 $aMonastic and religious life of women$zItaly$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonastic and religious life of women$xHistory 676 $a271/.97302 700 $aKnox$b Lezlie S$0933556 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455266503321 996 $aCreating Clare of Assisi$92101776 997 $aUNINA
