The themes of Dante’s prophethood and the poet’s relationship with Gioacchino da Fiore, the Joachimite tradition and Franciscan spiritualism permeates 20th-century Italian scholarly lit- erature on Dante. Particularly dear to Ernesto Buonaiuti, these themes were then reprised by Raffaello Morghen, who, however, distanced himself from his teacher’s interpretations. It was Raoul Manselli, a student of Morghen, who, in the late 20th century recast some of Buonaiuti’s intuitions, purifying them of the more obvious ideological strains, linked to the personal vicissi- tudes of the Roman priest, and above all basing them on new insights into Franciscan spiritual- ism and its various groups and exponents, from Pietro di Giovanni Olivi to Ubertino da Casale.
