Sinopsis

Francis of Assisi is pre-eminently the saint of the Middle Ages. Owing nothing to church or school he was truly theodidact, and if he perhaps did not perceive the revolutionary bearing of his preaching, he at least always refused to be ordained priest. He divined the superiority of the spiritual priesthood. The charm of his life is that, thanks to reliable documents, we find the man behind the wonder worker. We find in him not merely noble actions, we find in him a life in the true meaning of the word, I mean, we feel in him both development and struggle. -from the Introduction One of the first, and most complete, and well-beloved biographies of St. Francis, Sabatier's book is once again available in this affordable edition from the Apocryphile Press.
