Abstract

ENGLISH: The article gives an insight into the importance of the thirteenth-century exegesis of the Franciscan Rule for the history of late medieval culture. After explaining how and why the friars commented on their Rule and the implications of interpreting a text that Francis of Assisi asserted to have written by divine inspiration, and simultaneously forbade glossing, the contribu-tion delves into the relationship that the Minors established with the contemporary theological and juridical culture. By analysing the exegesis on the footwear that the friars were supposed to wear, the article shows how contemporary juridical and theological reflections on the limits and value of the law were originally grafted into the discourse on the Franciscan Rule . / ITALIANO: L’articolo offre un saggio dell’importanza dell’esegesi duecentesca della Regola minoritica per la storia della cultura tardomedievale. Dopo aver mostrato come e perché i frati commentarono la loro Regola e quale fu la posta in gioco nell’interpretare un testo che Francesco d’Assisi affermò di aver scritto per ispirazione divina e che, allo stesso tempo, proibì di glossare, il contributo si concentra sul rapporto che i Minori instaurarono con la cultura teologica e giuridica coeva. Ripercorrendo l’esegesi sulle calzature che i frati avrebbero dovuto indossare, l’articolo mostra in che modo le riflessioni giuridiche e teologiche coeve sui limiti e sul valore e della legge si innestarono originalmente nel discorso sulla Regola minoritica.
