Francis of Assisi: An Illustrated History of His Life and Legacy

Francis of Assisi: An Illustrated History of His Life and Legacy is an engaging fusion of history and art book. It details the history of the Franciscans, beginning with a biography of the saint himself, the development and spread of the Order and its influence on the Church and medieval Europe; and an analysis of the Giotto s frescos of the life of Francis in Assisi, Florence, and elsewhere. This book is beautifully illustrated with color reproductions of images of Assisi, early portraits of Francis, and the Giotto frescos.
