The Order of the Brothers of All (Selucian: Ordo Fratrum Omnium), also known as the Angelican Friars, the Order of St. Angelicus or the Little Brothers is as mendicant Hosian monastic order. Founded around the turn of the 13th century by Angelicus of Subasium, amidst a revival of Hosian monasticism, the Angelicans are considered to have been the first among the newly-established mendicant orders. Originally, St. Angelicus refused to write a rule beyond the Annunciation as a model for a poor life, but pressed by the Arch-Patriarch, he conceded to writing one. This rule (the Rule of St. Angelicus) is based on a radical interpretation of the Annunciation, seeking to emulate the life of Eliyahu and his first disciples in a life of poverty and brotherly love for all creation (hence the name).
