This chapter explores the relationship between Cardinal Hugo/Gregory IX and Joachim of Fiore and the Florensian Order. It first explores the influence of Joachite thought, particularly concerning the Apocalypse, on the Curia and the wider world of the early thirteenth century. It then examines the part played by Joachim’s great confidant, Rainier of Ponza, and Joseph of Fiore, who was closely tied to the Curia, in developing the thought of Hugo/Gregory concerning the part of new religious movements in a new eschatological stage of history. It closes with a thorough examination of the symbolism of the canonization letter of Dominic where the Cistercians and the Florensians together, as the white Quadriga, signify the coming of the Last Age. |
