The article aims to examine the Franciscan themes and sources in the 14th‑ century Tractatus contra beghardos penned by a Czech Dominican Henryk Harrer. It became clear that Henryk Harrer managed to unite in his writings the pride in being a friar with the reverence for the Franciscan tradition. Francis of Assisi is presented as a perfect example of a friar’s life. However, the reverence for his person did not stop Harrer from referring to some more difficult moments in the Franciscans’ life, namely a conflict carried on in the 1320s and 1330s between radical Friars Minor and Pope John XXII. Owing to the analysis of archival sources we know that while writing his Tractatus contra beghardos Harrer drew from main legal and hagiographic texts in the Friars Minor Order. These were predominantly Regula bullata from the year 1223 and The Life of St. Francis of Assisi written by St. Bonaventure. The reasons for Harrer’s being well conversant with the Franciscan sources and tradition can be attributed not only to the church situation during the pontificate of Pope XXII, but also to particular events that took place in Prague in 1329. At that time the Dominicans residing in Prague, including Henryk Harrer, participated in a mission against the Franciscans who were in favor of Michael of Cesena and the Franciscan Spirituals.
