Summary "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Franciscans' to 'French Language'" is a comprehensive reference work written in the early 20th century. This particular volume encompasses a range of historical and cultural topics, including the establishment of the Franciscan Order and details about various notable individuals and movements in history. It is designed to provide readers with a thorough understanding of key subjects, blending detailed accounts with informative entries. The opening of this volume presents a detailed exploration of the Franciscans, a religious order founded by St. Francis of Assisi. It outlines their commitment to a life of poverty and service, detailing the inception of the order, its rapid expansion, and the internal conflicts that arose following St. Francis's death. The text highlights significant events, including the adoption of a formal rule and structure, and the tension between various factions within the order, such as the Zealots who sought to maintain strict adherence to St. Francis's original vision. This excerpt serves as a foundation for the extensive historical context surrounding the Franciscans, illustrating their lasting impact on both religious and social fronts.
