At the general chapter of 1239, held in Rome under

The Franciscan Gerard of Borgo San Donnino at this time issued
9396-569: The idea of poverty based on belief that Christ and the apostles owned nothing.

He was soon joined by a prominent fellow townsman, Bernard of Quintavalle , who contributed all that he had to
