The four volume publication of Francis of Assisi: Early Documents (1999-2002) is an indispensable resource for all who study Saint Francis and the religious communities and traditions he engendered. To facilitate this study among scholars, students and those simply interested in learning more about Francis, the present collection of essays serves as an invaluable guide for the fertile theological and spiritual terrain of the Franciscan early documents.

This timely work, composed of essays by significant scholars in Franciscan theology, history, and hagiography, serves as a much needed beginners guide.
