Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from "The Little Flowers"& The Life of St. Francis: With the "Mirror of Perfection" Then shalt thou feel thy spirit so possest And ravisht with devouring great desire Of His deare selfe, that shall thy feeble brest Inflame with love, and set thee all on fire With burning zeale, through every part entire, That in no earthly thing thou shalt delight But in His sweet and amiable sight. Since the appearance of Paul Sabatier´s Vie de Saint Francois d´Assise in 1894, the starting-point of the neo-Franciscan movement, scholars have disputed with much unfranciscan acrimony concerning the relative value of existing documentary authorities: the main outlines, however, of the life of the founder of the Franciscan order are clear enough. Giovanni Bernadone, better known as Francesco, tenderest and sweetest of Christian saints, was born at Assisi in 1182. The male child that the Lady Pica, wife of the wealthy mercer, Pietro Bernadone, brought into the world during her husband´s absence in France, received the baptismal name of Giovanni; and it was probably on his return that the joyous father substituted the name of Francesco. The little lad was in due course sent to the priest´s school at the church of St. Giorgio, and there received the usual education of a mediæval school boy. He was not a diligent scholar. We need not accept too literally his own description of himself as ignorant and unschooled, for he read, dictated, and spoke Latin (although with difficulty), and, as befitted the son of a merchant, early acquired a knowledge of French. The only work by St. Francis we possess, other than in Latin, is a poetical rhapsody composed in the Umbrian dialect, and more nearly akin to the formless inspirations of Walt Whitman than to any known metrical model.
