- Summary:
- The Order of the Hermits of St Augustine have long been sidelined as pale imitators of the Franciscans. Seeking to correct this, this book provides a fundamental cross-disciplinary re-evaluation of their lives, ideas, and impacts. By challenging the scholarly focus on the urban sphere in communal Italy, it explores the rapid emergence of Augustinian convents as lively religious and artistic centres on the margins of cities and in the Italian countryside. Moreover, it demonstrates for the first time the existence of common intellectual themes which linked together dispersed Augustinian communities.
