Inhaltsangabe

The Mirror of Perfection has long been accepted as one of the most vivid collections of stories about St. Francis of Assisi. It has been widely recognized by students of Franciscan sources that most of the stories it contains also survive in the form in which they were originally written by brother Leo and his colleagues, St. Francis's closest companions. First published in 1970, this corrected reprint contains the stories in their original Latin form, together with a critical English text and introduction. Leo's other work, the Life of St. Francis's third disciple, Brother Giles of Assisi, is also included.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The 'Mirror of Perfection' has long been known as one of the most vivid collections of stories about St. Francis of Assisi; and it has been widely recognized by students of Franciscan sources that most of the stories it contains also survive in the form in which they were originally written by Brother Leo and his colleagues, St. Francis's intimate companions. These comprise the most attractive and refreshing account of the saint that we possess, here published with a critical Latin text, an English translation, introduction, and notes; together with Leo's other work, the 'Life' of St. Francis's third disciple Brother Giles of Assisi.
