The Conformity: Book 1: Manifestation (Francis of Assisi Early Documents)

In the early 1380s a respected Franciscan preacher and professor of theology, Friar Bartholomew of Pisa, set to work on what was to be a book with a surprisingly long life-span. It was called a book of "conformities," showing the many similarities between the life of Jesus Christ and the life of the Italian saint, Francis of Assisi (1182-1226). The Conformity is a continuing translations of documents about Francis of Assisi from the early 15th-century onward.
