The Dominican Order was established during the Middle Ages at a time when men of God were no longer expected to stay behind the walls of a [[cloister]]. Instead, they travelled among the people, taking as their examples the apostles of the primitive Church. Out of this ideal emerged two orders of mendicant friars – one, the Friars Minor, led by [[Francis of Assisi]]; the other, the Friars Preachers, led by [[Saint Dominic|Dominic de Guzmán]]. Like his contemporary, Francis, Dominic saw the need for a new type of organization, and the quick growth of the Dominicans and [[Franciscans]] during their first century of existence confirms that conditions were favorable for the growth of the [[Mendicant orders|orders of mendicant friars]].

Dominic inspired his followers with loyalty to learning and virtue, a deep recognition of the spiritual power of worldly deprivation and the religious state, and a highly developed governmental structure.{{sfn|Hinnebusch|1975|p=7}} At the same time, Dominic inspired the members of his order to develop a "mixed" spirituality. They were both active in preaching, and contemplative in study, prayer and meditation. The brethren of the Dominican Order were urbane and learned, as well as contemplative and mystical in their spirituality. While these traits affected the women of the order, the nuns especially absorbed the latter characteristics and made those characteristics their own. In England, the Dominican nuns blended these elements with the defining characteristics of English Dominican spirituality and created a spirituality and collective personality that set them apart.{{Cn|date=April 2025}} | Dominic inspired his followers with loyalty to learning and virtue, a deep recognition of the spiritual power of worldly deprivation and the religious state, and a highly developed governmental structure.{{sfn|Hinnebusch|1975|p=7}} At the same time, Dominic inspired the members of his order to develop a "mixed" spirituality.

A significant early modern account of the Order's development in Spain is the ''Historia de la Provincia de España de la Orden de'' ''Predicadores'', composed by Manuel Joseph de Medrano, a preacher general and official chronicler of the Order. Published in [[Madrid]] in 1727, the work documents the establishment and expansion of Dominican foundations in Spain and records the lives of prominent members of the Order from the death of its founder, [[Saint Dominic|Dominic de Guzmán]], through the close of the 13th century.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Medrano |first=Manuel José de |url=https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/009303255 |title=Historia de la provincia de España de la Orden de Predicadores: primera parte, progresos de sus fundaciones y vidas de los ilustres hijos que la ennoblecieron, desde la muerte de su glorioso Patriarcha, hasta el año de MCCC.: Tomo segundo, Desde el año de MCCXXI hasta el fin del siglo XIII |last2=González de Reyes |first2=Antonio |last3=Universidad Complutense (Alcalá de Henares) |date=1727 |publisher=por los herederos de Antonio Gonçalez de Reyes |location=En Madrid}}</ref> The history was formally dedicated to [[Tomás Ripoll]], then Master General of the Order, and presented through the authority of Fray Cristóbal de Miranda, Vicar General and elected provincial of the Spanish province.

France held a foremost place in the revival movement, owing to the reputation and convincing power of the orator, [[Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire]] (1802–1861).

The highest authority within the Order of Preachers is the General Chapter, which is empowered to develop legislation governing all organizations within the Dominican umbrella, as well as enforce that legislation. The General Chapter is composed of two bodies, the Chapter of Provincials and the Chapter of Definitors (or ''Diffinitors''), a unique configuration within the Catholic Church. Each body is of equal authority to propose legislation and discuss other matters of general importance within the order, and each body may be called individually or jointly. The Provincials consists of the superiors of individual Dominican provinces, while the Diffinitors consists of "grass root" representatives of each province, so created to avoid provincial superiors having to spend excessive time away from their day-to-day duties of governing. To maintain stability of the legislation of the order, new legislation is enacted only when approved by three successive meetings of the General Chapter.<ref name=D'amato>{{cite web|first1=A.|last1=D'Amato, O.P.|url=http://dominicains.ca/documents-generaux/les-chapitres-generaux-dans-lordre-des-precheurs/?lang=en|title=The General Chapter in the Order of Preachers|date=April 1983|accessdate=August 7, 2022|archive-date=August 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220807175937/http://dominicains.ca/documents-generaux/les-chapitres-generaux-dans-lordre-des-precheurs/?lang=en|url-status=live}}</ref> | The highest authority within the Order of Preachers is the General Chapter, which is empowered to develop legislation governing all organizations within the Dominican umbrella, as well as enforce that legislation.

The Dominican Order was affected by a number of elemental influences. Its early members imbued the order with a mysticism and learning. Mysticism refers to the conviction that all believers have the capability to experience God's love. This love may manifest itself through brief ecstatic experiences, such that one may be engulfed by God and gain an immediate knowledge of him, which is unknowable through the intellect alone. Although the ultimate attainment for mysticism is union with God, the goal is just as much to become like Christ as it is to become one with him | The Dominican Order was affected by a number of elemental influences.

The Europeans of the order embraced ecstatic mysticism on a grand scale and looked to a union with the Creator. The English Dominicans looked for this complete unity as well but were not so focused on ecstatic experiences. Instead, their goal was to emulate the moral life of Christ more completely. The Dartford nuns were surrounded by all of those legacies and used them to create something unique.{{ | The Europeans of the order embraced ecstatic mysticism on a grand scale and looked to a union with the Creator.
