Title : Bible and Rule in the Clarissan Tradition [Clare and her sisters lobbied for papal approval of their rule. It can be understood as representing her own voice. The Rule quotes the gospels, while Clare's letters refer to the "Song of Songs" and other bridal images. Later Clares are found to be using both patterns of Biblical references.

Title : La "Forma Vitae" di san Francesco per San damiano fra Chiara d'Assisi, Agnese di Boemia ed interventi papali [The rule of Agnes' monastery in Prague evolved through correspondence with Francis and Clare, as well as with Pope Gregory IX; finally Gregory imposed on her foundation the same constitutions prepared for San Damiano, Assisi; the dietary rigor of these constitutions was moderated by Innocent IV; all of this can be seen as part of a process of regularizing new orders along the lines of preexisting ones].

Title : Le fonti agiografiche come documenti per la vita di Chiara [Sources for Clare's life are scarce; these include her writings, acts of her canonization process, and her earliest legend; this text, often attributed to Thomas of Celano, can be checked against the testimony in the canonization process; and it represents a moment in the history of the Franciscan movement; individual details, present in recorded testimony, become adapted to hagiographic models in the legend and, even more so, in papal bulls concerning the canonization; the legend emphasizes Clare's love of poverty, but her confrontation with Gregory IX over a life of poverty is deemphasized; the Franciscans had become institutionalized and could not present Clare as a rebel].

Title : Le Clarisse nelle Marche gli insediamenti del XIII secolo [Houses of Poor Clares began appearing in the March of Ancona by the middle of the thirteenth century. Their early histories can be documented from privileges granted by popes, cardinals, and bishops. Among the most frequent grants were those for indulgences and immunity from episcopal juristiction. Houses of Clares spred in the March early on, often developing in larger towns that also had nearby convents of friars to provide for their spiritual care. Title note provided by Feminae.].

Contributor(s):
Title : Chiara d'Assisi nell'Umbria del Quattrocento [use of the original rule of Saint Clare, long eclipsed by other versions, revived in the fifteenth century in Umbria; many houses of reformed Clares were affiliated with the Franciscan Observants, but it is difficult to correlate this with revived use of the primitive rule; veneration of Clare in Umbria included invocations against the plague].

Title : Chiara di Assisi: Assisi, 15-17 ottobre 1992 [Clare's vocation was closely tied to the mission of Francis; her order of nuns started with a Franciscan emphasis on poverty, but it was assimilated to traditional models of female monasticism; recent studies recover something of the personalities of Clare and Agnes of Prague from the stereotypes of hagiography].
