About this book
“O poor little old woman, foolish and ignorant as thou art, love the Lord God and thou mayest be greater than Brother Bonaventure.” — Brother Giles
Brother Giles was the third companion of St. Francis of Assisi, the friar Francis called “the Knight of our Round Table.” He held no office and wrote no books. He spent his long life in pilgrimage, prayer and the work of his hands, yet a pope, a king of France and St. Bonaventure all sought him out, and the blunt, homely, humorous answers he gave were treasured for eight centuries as his Golden Sayings.
This classic translation, first published in 1907, gives the Sayings complete, with Paschal Robinson’s biographical Introduction, his notes, two Appendices of further sayings, a Bibliography and an Index. The six illustrations of the original edition are reproduced, with a new Note to This Edition.
