The book explores the evolution of scholastic, apocalyptic, and Franciscan interpretations of the Gospel of Matthew between 1150 and 1350, highlighting their significance in high-medieval religious life. It examines the relationship between these interpretations and the papacy's stance toward the Franciscan Order, focusing on Peter Olivi's commentary on Matthew as a key example. Through Olivi's work, the author sheds light on broader theological and ecclesiastical developments during this transformative period.
