The Beginnings of the Franciscan School. Intellectual education is a fundamental concern of every society and every institution; they could not stand today without it. This article aims to offer a brief look at the beginnings of the Franciscan school. Although intellectual formation was not initially part of St. Francis’ charism, he later realised its importance and usefulness for the noble mission entrusted to him and, by extension, to his fraternity. Embracing the invitation of the Church of his time, he allowed study and authorised the foundation of schools, of course, “as long as the spirit of holy prayer is not extinguished”. The apostolate of the brothers also immediately took on this dimension. Houses of study began to appear during the last years of St. Francis’ life and a network of schools took shape by the end of the 13th century. The issue of the study has aroused bitter controversy over the centuries, even causing divisions among the friars. This study attempts to shed more light on the beginnings of the Franciscan school, mentioning some of them and their early masters.
