Résumé

To begin with, it should be considered whether it is justified to discuss the problem of the endowment of monks living according to the rule that forbids accepting money and things of any material value.  It seems it is, indeed, as they also strove to maintain their monasteries. There were various sources of income for monasteries. The money Bernardine monks ignored as synonymous with wealth in the 13th century, became, in the course of time, a means of payment used by all social classes. For this reason, the authors of laws and monastic constitutions have mitigated the strict orders of St. Francis of Assisi, sharing the Franciscans' opinion on poverty.
