Founders

Named as founders

Who the records name as founding it.

What this means

An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.

Nearby

Places nearby

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

Connections

How Order of Friars Minor connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure · a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch · personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population
