Summary:The paper analyzes Francis of Assisi’s preaching in light of his writings and medieval biographical sources, comparing it to the ars praedicandi of the time. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of both the content of his proclamation and the form through which the Christian message is transmitted, while also pinpointing some of the suggestions the Assisiate formulated for his friars in terms of preach-ing. One of the key moments of transformation in the kind of preaching Francis performed coincided with his taking on holy orders, that is, becoming a deacon, and the gradual acquisition of basic theological scholarship, an education obtained in part by listening to liturgical texts.
Il contributo analizza la predicazione di Francesco d’Assisi alla luce dei suoi scritti e delle fonti biografiche medievali, paragonandola all’ars praedicandi dell’epoca. Si pone accento sull’evoluzione sia dei contenuti del suo annuncio sia della forma di trasmettere il messaggio cristiano, enucleando anche alcune indicazioni che l’Assisiate ha formulato a tale proposito per i suoi frati. Uno dei momenti-chiave nella trasformazione della predicazione esercitata da Francesco viene individuato nell’assunzione degli ordini sacri, ossia nell’essere diventato diacono, e nella graduale acquisizione di una basilare erudizione teologica, avvenuta anche attraverso l’ascolto dei testi liturgici.
