Beschreibung
This book explores order chronicles, convent chronicles, and collective biographies written by Dominicans to serve a Dominican audience. It shows that the main constructors of a Dominican narrative identity in the fifteenth century were Observants, who wrote history to justify their own reform agenda. Presenting themselves as zealots for souls and stars in sanctity, Dominicans emphasized their order's unique role in salvation history.
