Abstract

ITALIANO: Il saggio delinea l’approccio personale dell’autore al significato del martirio per l’ordine francescano. Il libro in discussione è nato partendo da ricerche precedenti sulle crociate e sulla presenza dei Latini nel Vicino Oriente. L’autore risponde brevemente ad alcune delle critiche avanzate dai tre lettori, spiegando perché ha privilegiato fonti narrative su martíri compiuti in terre islamiche. Conclude con l’augurio che il libro possa portare a nuove riflessioni sui nessi tra martirio, santità, ordine francescano, evangelizzazione e crociata nei secoli finali del medioevo. / ENGLISH: The essay outlines the author’s personal approach to the meaning of martyrdom for the Franciscan Order. The book under discussion grew out of previous research on the Crusades and the ‘Frankish’ presence in the Near East. The author responds briefly to some of the criticisms made by the three readers, explaining why he favored narrative sources about martyrdoms carried out in Islamic lands. He concludes with the hope that the book will lead to new reflections on the connections between martyrdom, holiness, the Franciscan Order, evangelization and crusade in the final centuries of the Middle Ages.
