This English translation of Desbonnets French book is an excellent examination of the development of the Franciscan order. A religious order is never born completely organized in the spirit of its founder. It begins as an idea with imprecise limits, an unformulated intuition, recognized one day for what it is by the founder and his first disciples. This it was with the Franciscans. Through what collective effort did it shift from being the intuition of St. Francis to being the Order of Friars Minor? And what remains of the intuition at this point of the evolution? This is what From Intuition to Institution intends to tell.
