Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Saint's biographers, but it is not less true that they bear the stamp of his personality and reflect his Spirit even more faithfully than the Legends written down on the very morrow of his death by those who had known him the best of all.1 For this reason they are well worth all the serious study that scholars outside the Fran ciscan Order are now beginning to give to them.
