| Summary: | The contribution reconstructs a key event for understanding the fifteenth-century origins of Franciscan female observance. It deals with a legal case that arose around the desire of the Poor Clares of Corpus Christi in Mantua to observe the Rule of Clare of Assisi in the correct way, distinguishing within it the norms that obliged under grave sin, the precepts, and others endowed with a less rigid obligation, the counsels. The article analyses the answers provided by John of Capistran, Niccolò of Osimo, Heinrich Kalteisen and Pope Eugene IV and puts forward some new hypotheses on the texts, on the affair as a whole and on its subsequent outcomes. It shows, finally, what was at stake behind the request of the Poor Clares, highlights their role in promoting and rejecting the legal reflection of the observant friars and highlights the will of the latter and the Roman Curia in directing the reform of the female monasteries. |
