About this book
“To commend from a pious zeal the deeds of the venerable fathers brings much fruit to the posterity of the faithful.” — from the Prologue
Written in the thirteenth century by Thomas of Pavia, a friar who knew many of the men he describes, this Dialogue between a teacher and a listener records the deeds and miracles of the first generations of Friars Minor: St. Anthony, Blessed Benevenutus of Gubbio, and friars of Narni, Todi, Foligno and the Marche, each followed by a short reflection on prayer, faith, temptation, the care of the angels and the honor due to the saints.
Translated from the 1923 Quaracchi edition of Ferdinand M. Delorme, OFM, with his full introduction on the work’s title, date, sources and value, by Fr. Campion Murray, OFM, of Melbourne, Australia.
Volume I of Early Franciscan Ascetical Writings, Fr. Campion’s series of early Franciscan works newly translated into English.
