History of S. Francis of Assisi (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...unheard of power. He even converted noblemen, whose unrestrained fury and cruelty had bathed the country in blood; many of them were reconciled.

Francis welcomed him with that exquisite mixture of deference and cordial charity that he always showed on such occasions. He himself clothed him in the habit of the Order, and with his consent the new brother remained in the convent that he had formerly given, and became an honour to it by his virtues.

He stayed at Florence only as long as was necessary to visit a convent that a noble lady...
