Minims
(Latin, Fratres Minimi, least of the brethren). A term
of self-abasement assumed by an order of monks founded by St. Francis
of Paula, in 1453. The order of St. Francis of Assisi had already
engrossed the “humble” title of Fratres Minores (inferior
brothers). The superior of the minims is called corrector.
