description: St Francis of Assisi (1181/2-1226) was born into a wealthy family, but gave up his worldly priviliges to lead a simple life devoted to the poor and to prayer. He is remembered for his deep humility, love of nature, great generosity and quiet faith.;This edition of the collected writings of St Francis of Assisi is based on Lady de la Warr's translation of 1907, which itself was based on d'Alencon's French edition. The "Rules of Orders", St Francis's testament, his letters and prayers, all offer insights into his character and beliefs. His radical example still issues a challenge for today.
