The Little Flowers of Saint Francis of Assisi, in the First English Translation

xviii, [2], 261, [3] pp. Translation revised and emended by Dom Roger Hudleston, with an introduction by Arthur Livingston "St. Francis of Assisi's ecstatic embrace of a life of poverty revolutionized Christianity even as it transformed the ethics of the West. In this luminous and lively book, St. Francis's followers preserved his legend and those of his first disciples, combining stories of miracles with convincing portraits of men who were no less human for having been touched by God."
