the Little Flowers of Saint Francis: Complete Text, in Translation W. Heywood, 1906

Among the best-loved books of the Christian centuries, The Little Flowers of Saint Francis, in Italian, the Fioretti, gathers the tales that grew up around Saint Francis of Assisi and his first companions in the generations after his death. Here are the sermon to the birds, the wolf of Gubbio, the long vigils on Mount La Verna, and the hard, sweet teaching on perfect joy: the little poor man of Assisi seen through the love of those who followed him.This Sanctified Souls Press edition presents the complete work, unabridged, in W. Heywood's celebrated 1906 translation: the fifty-three chapters of the Little Flowers, the Considerations on the Most Holy Stigmata, and the lives and sayings of Friar Juniper and Friar Giles. Newly set in Crimson Pro and Cinzel, on cream paper, for reading and keeping.
