Two new monastic orders: franciscans (followers of st. francis) vs. Dominicans (associated with the founding of universities the learned order, founded by st. dominic: dominicans advocated what is correct" in christianity. Associated with chasing heretics, the inquisition, etc: franciscans were a mendicant order they were impoverished, they sought charity to support the other. Wore simple garbs with a knotted rope around the waist: the orders grew quickly needed new larger buildings to gather. Resulted in the construction of new civic cathedrals. 3 major universities: padua- medicine, bologna- law, paris- theology. Cathedral is the seat of the bishop. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the cities were in competition with each other to build bigger and better cathedrals. Monastic buildings and the cathedrals feature a combination of styles.
