Abstract:

The remains in Montefeltro of the material structures of the medieval mendicant orders still constitute a fresh archive of data useful for casting light on the formal and technological transformations that took place in the first two centuries of its history. The book looks for the first time into the type of settlements of the Franciscan and Augustinian orders through the historical, archaeological, historico-artistic and petrographic analysis of the elevations of six convents dating from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

This publication is comprised within a recent strand of studies devoted to scholastic culture, understood as an original and complex form of mediation between academic and popular culture.

These include studies on scholastic and educational publishing, the history of professional associations in the area of geography and cartography (both local and national), an

Secondly, von der Hardt refused to present the Book of Jonah as a prediction of Christ’s coming, as was usually done before him. Instead, he adopted a strictly historical interpretation that avoided delving into the mysteries of divine providence and explained the book as series of practical, moral
