Abstract


Francesc Eiximenis is considered a leading figure of a Western Mediterranean Franciscan élite who contribute to the formation of the political and economic identity of the Catalan-Aragonese Community. Key-lexemes such as caritat, fealtat, profit comú are analysed within Eiximenis's political discourse. An analysis is also made of the role they play in the definition of an exclusively Christian community organization connoted by a close interdependence between res publica and market, i.e. the validation paradigms of the political institution and the paradigms that legitimate a reliable trading space. Moreover, the ideas and projects of the Minorite from Gerona are tested in the actual institutional context in which he acts: the Kingdom of Valencia and that of Sicily after the 1392 Conquest.
