Abstract
This article examines Walter Chatton's (c.1290-1343/4) writings on Franciscan poverty in order to uncover his theory of property rights. Chatton, a Franciscan critic of William of Ockham, defended his conception of poverty at least three times following the publication of Ad conditorem canonum (1323). I argue that Chatton defended Franciscan non-ownership in a way uniquely his own. Most significant was his close coupling of dominium with potestas while avoiding the language of rights so commonly associated with other Franciscan authors. Chatton cannot be counted among the nor the 'Community', nor even among the emerging Michaelists. 'Spirituals',
期刊介绍:
History of Political Thought (HPT) is a quarterly journal which was launched in 1980 to fill a genuine academic need for a forum for work in this multi-disciplinary area. Although a subject central to the study of politics and history, researchers in this field had previously to compete for publication space in journals whose intellectual centres of gravity were located in other disciplines. The journal is devoted exclusively to the historical study of political ideas and associated methodological problems. The primary focus is on research papers, with extensive book reviews and bibliographic surveys also included. All articles are refereed.
