Poverty, Heresy, and
the Apocalypse
The Order of Apostles and Social
Change in Medieval Italy 1260-1307
Jerry B. Pierce
• Major topic
• Wide potential
audience
• Takes an
innovative
approach
This is the first
study to examine
the Order of
Apostles, a group founded by Gerard
Segarelli, who believed that a life of
apostolic poverty was the true path of
Christian devotion. Segarelli was initially
supported by the Church but was later
charged with heresy and burnt as a
heretic. The Order’s control was assumed
by Fra Dolcino who led the Apostles into
direct opposition to the Church and was
himself executed in 1307.
