Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Friars and How They Came to England: Being a Translation of Thomas of Eccleston´s "De Adventu F. F. Minorum in Angliam"; Done Into English With an Introductory Essay on the Spirit and Genius of the Franciscan Friars The Friars Minor, or Franciscan Friars, as they are popularly called, arrived in Eng land in the year 1224. They came at a moment when events were swiftly moving towards a decisive crisis in our national history. The feudal system, assailed on the one side by the Crown, and on the other by the rising burgher class, was passing away, ending a noble history in a not altogether inglorious death; for feudalism had saved Europe from barbaric licence and had laid the foundations of civilised society, and it left behind it a legacy of noble deeds and beautiful thought which we do well to cherish. But its day was over. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
