The Franciscans were, since their origins, exempt from stability, which automatically led to the possibility of the friars returning to the state of the Gyróvago monks, guaranteeing their right - and also their vocation - to circulate in the saeculum. The Franciscan Order had been constituted, therefore, after the verbal authorization of Innocent III, in a begging community, to which the mechanism was available. From the institutionalization of the community, however, begging should progressively present itself as an expedient linked to a pre-existing institutional reality and, therefore, identified with norms and practices linked to tradition. For this reason, the lexicon of begging in the Franciscan Order tended to incorporate the concepts related to the work (labor) of the Regula monachorum de São Bento. We identified, in general, in the Franciscan written corpus, a presentation of begging as deeply associated with work.
