About this book
“Where there is charity and wisdom there is neither fear nor ignorance.” — St. Francis of Assisi, Admonitions
Francis of Assisi wrote little, and almost all of it for his brothers and sisters: words of counsel, two Rules, a Testament dictated as he was dying, letters to the faithful, to the friars, to the rulers of the people and to Brother Leo, prayers of praise and the Canticle of the Sun. Yet in these few pages, more than in any life written about him, the Saint speaks for himself.
In 1906 Father Paschal Robinson gave English readers the first translation of these writings made from a modern critical text. Each work comes with his account of its manuscripts and authenticity, and his notes record the readings of the oldest codices.
This edition reproduces the complete text, notes, plates and index, with a new Note to This Edition.
