Praise of Volume 1, FRANCIS OF ASSISI ... The Saint New City Press releases
the first volume in its projected three-volume collection of the early writings
of St. Francis of Assisi. Edited by Franciscan scholars, Francis of Assisi:
Early Documents contains new translations of such well-known writings as The
Canticle of the Creatures, biographies of Francis by his contemporaries, and
The Versified Life of Saint Francis by Henri d'Avraches, translated here for
the first time. Publishers Weekly Although its painstaking introductions and
annotations are intended for scholars, the readings themselves are as vibrant,
accessible, instructive and charming as St. Francis himself must have been.
America This volume contains writings of Francis on such diverse subjects
as Prayer Before the Crucifix, Exhortations to Clergy, Rule for Hermitages,
and A Salutation of the Virtues. The writings afford wonderful insight into
the theology and basic concerns of this important figure in church history.
Library Journal The words of Francis and the Life of Francis by Thomas of
Celano come alive in these translations as never before. The Sacred Exchange
becomes a new performance in the theater of the readers mind. Henry of Avranches'
poetic version of Francis' life casts him as a classical hero, a Christian
successor to Odysseus and Aeneas.... In this volume we are given a new song
of Francis for our time. Ingrid Peterson, O.S.F. This is a magnificent collection
of texts which illuminate the person of Saint Francis and the beginnings of
the Franciscan Order. The translators provide a wonderful balance between
fluent language and scholarly apparatus. Brian Patrick McGuire Roskilde University,
Denmark
