Michele Lodone received his PhD in History from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales of Paris.

His research focuses on the 'multiple options' of Late Medieval religious history, on Renaissance Humanism and on the cultural history of 14th-15th century Italy. His publications include many articles in Aevum, Interpres, Rivista storica italiana, Rivista di storia e letteratura religiosa and other peer-reviewed journals.

Penelope Reilly has been involved in education throughout her career since studying at the University of Edinburgh, specialising in Medieval History, but only relatively recently focusing on the Franciscans in Mexico. Her interest was aroused while researching Spanish 'villancicos' at the University of Kent. She argued that, contrary to received opinion, the words, cultural references and understanding of the 'villancicos' changed significantly when they were introduced to Mexico by Spanish composers. This developed into an interest in mutual cultural adaptation during the early period of evangelism in Mexico, 1520 - 1550, the topic of an unpublished thesis. One aspect of this was the Franciscan use of 'autos' and the way Christian teaching and pre-Hispanic cultural references were incorporated in these plays.
Bert Roest teaches Medieval History at Radboud University Nijmegen. His research focuses predominantly on the intellectual and institutional history of religious orders in the late medieval and early modern period. His publications include A History of Franciscan Education (c. 1210–1517) (Leiden: Brill, 2000), Franciscan Literature of Religious Instruction Before the Council of Trent (Leiden: Brill, 2004), Order and Disorder: The Poor Clares Between Foundation and Reform (Leiden: Brill, 2013), and Franciscan Learning, Preaching and Mission c. 1220-1650. Cum scientia sit donum Dei, armatura ad defendendam sanctam Fidem catholicam (Leiden: Brill, 2015). He also co-edits the Franciscan Authors Website (http://users.bart.nl/~roestb/franciscan/).
