title: Francis of Assisi, Early Documents: Vol. 3, The Prophet
author: Regis J. Armstrong
description: It is difficult to offer sufficient praise for this outstanding series of documents, necessary to the happiness of the casual or professional student of the life and works of Francis of Assisi. Scrupulously and plainly translated, generously collected, effectively presented, this final volume in the "Early Documents" series gathers up works relevant to the reception of Francis's achievement in the years after his death. Included are additional biographies, some in verse; chronicles of the early history of the Franciscan order; liturgies; and papal proclamations relevant to the Order. It is as beautifully done as its two predecessors. Highly recommended. <br />Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
