1. Title: A Triumvirate of Faith: Trinitarian, Dominican, and Augustinian Friars in the Middle Ages This evocative nineteenth-century colored engraving captures the essence of three prominent mendicant orders of the Middle Ages: the Trinitarians, Dominicans, and Augustinians. The image, featuring a Trinitarian friar, a Dominican, and an Augustinian from left to right, offers a glimpse into the pious lives of these religious men dedicated to charity and devotion. The Trinitarian friar, dressed in a black habit with a red cross, symbolizes the Order of the Most Holy Trinity, founded in the early thirteenth century. This order was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and the care of the sick, particularly those suffering from leprosy. Their commitment to serving the afflicted was a testament to their faith and compassion. Next to him stands a Dominican friar, wearing the distinctive white habit with a black scapular and a rosary in his hand. The Dominican Order, also known as the Order of Preachers, was founded in 1216 by St. Dominic de Guzman. These friars were renowned for their scholarly pursuits and evangelical mission, spreading the teachings of the Catholic Church through preaching and education. On the right, an Augustinian friar is depicted, clad in a brown habit with a white scapular and a rope belt. The Augustinian Order, founded by St. Augustine of Hippo in the fifth century, was initially a monastic order that later adopted the mendicant lifestyle in the thirteenth century. The Augustinians focused on the study of the Bible and the pursuit of a simple, contemplative life. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and enduring influence of these three mendicant orders in the Middle Ages, each contributing significantly to the spiritual and charitable landscape of their time.
