Title: Life of St. Francis of Assisi
Description: “A conscientious study of sources and a sympathetic narration, giving an impression of the real man, consistent with himself and his surroundings. It is the finest and most authoritative of all the biographies of St. Francis.”
— A.L.A. Catalog 1926
“The popular imagination of Italy retains his image, while grave historians, unfamiliar with childlike genius touched with heavenly radiance, have fumbled over their records and missed the meaning of such gracious, guileless sainthood. Mr Sabatier, by sheer sympathy of spirit, has caught the clue, and put it into his reader’s hands.”
