During these eventful centuries friars of the Franciscan establishment in Jerusalem increasingly sought to cultivate strong ideological ties between themselves and the Holy Land, participating actively in contemporary literatures of geographia sacra and Levantine pilgrimage and travel. It becomes clear how the friars constructed a collective memory using the ideological canon of their order – featuring Bonaventurian theology, marvels of the east, cartography, apocalyptic visions of history, calls for Crusade, and finally a pilgrimage-possessio of the Holy Land by Francis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Note on Transcriptions, Orthography, and Documentation  List of Figures     1Franciscan Holy Land writing: Themes and Approaches   1Social, Memorial, and Sacred Space   2The “Holy” Land   3Franciscan Holy Land Territoriality   4Paul Walther von Guglingen and his Treatise   5Synopsis     2Situating the Sacred Centre in an Observant Franciscan Cosmos   1Guglingen Sets the Scene   2Jerusalem as the Sacred Middle Point of Bonaventure’s Metaphysical Circle   3The Sacred Centre in later Franciscan Holy Land Writing   4Marvels as Vestiges of the Sacred Centre ss  5Conclusion     3Holy Places, Sacred Travel   1The Survival of Holy Land Pilgrimage   2The Main Attraction or a Moot Point: Sacred Space   3“Why do Protestants go on Holy Land pilgrimage?”: The Franciscan Perspective   4Pilgrims between Curiosity and Devotion   5Advising Pilgrims: Franciscan voyages to the Levant   6Conclusion     4St Francis and the Holy Land in the Fifteenth Century   1Guglingen’s history of Jerusalem   2Franciscan Expectations for the Future of the Holy Land   3Guglingen’s call for Crusade   4Late Medieval Franciscan Crusade projects and their Patrons   5St Francis in the Holy Land   6Conclusion     5St Francis’ Possessio of the Holy Land in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries   1Competing with Jesuits, Capuchins, and Greeks in early Ottoman Jerusalem   2Territorial Franciscan Holy Land writing in the Seventeenth Century   3Francesco Quaresmio’s Simulacrum of the Holy Land   4Francis’ pilgrimage-possessio of the Holy Land   5Prophecy, Conformity, and Apocalypticism   6Conclusion     6Epilogue     Bibliography   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210775978327,"sku":"9789004400344","price":139.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-holy-land-in-observant-franciscan-texts-c-1480-1650-theology-travel-and-territoriality-9789004400344","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
