About this book
“It is refreshing to turn from the depressing materialism of the present time to the inspiring faith of the Middle Ages.” — Laurence Costelloe, OFM
Called the Seraphic Doctor and the “second founder” of the Franciscan Order, St. Bonaventure was a master of theology at Paris, the Minister General who held the friars together through their most divided years, the biographer chosen to tell the life of St. Francis, and a Cardinal who died during the Second Council of Lyons.
Written by an English friar for the “Friar Saints” series of 1911, this short and affectionate life follows Bonaventure from the childhood cure he credited to St. Francis, through the defense of the mendicant friars at Paris, to the papal envoys who found the new Cardinal washing the dishes.
This edition adds a new Note to This Edition and keeps the six illustrations of the original.
