An important new study of the way in which St Francis's image was
recorded in literature, documents, architecture and art. St Francis
was a man whose personality was deliberately stamped on his Order
and Rosalind Brooke explores how the stories told by Francis's
companions were at once brilliantly vivid portrayals of the man as
well as guides to how the Franciscan way of life ought to be led.
She also examines how after St Francis's death a great monument was
erected to him in the Basilica at Assisi and how this came to
reflect in stone and stained glass and fresco the manner in which
some Popes and leading friars believed his memory should be
fostered. Highly illustrated throughout, including colour and black
and white plates, this book will be essential reading for
medievalists and art historians as well as anyone interested in St
Francis and the Franciscan movement.
