Danijel Patafta ; KAtolički bogoslovni fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

This article presents the historiographic opus relevant for the
historiography of the continental Franciscans in the medieval period,
from the 13th to 16th century. These writings are mostly the fruit of
the study of the Franciscan historiographers from the 17th century
to the beginning of the 21st century. They are evaluated in the framework
of the time of their origin; special attention has been given
to their historiographic value, and the data pertaining to the history
of Franciscans in the west, north and east Croatia during the Middle
Ages. This is a synthesis of all important historiographic works which
are few in number, in respect to their subject. A view is given on
literature mostly of foreign origin, used as source by the Franciscan
historiographers through centuries, relevant today for the study of
the first centuries of the history of continental Franciscans.
