About this product
Product Information
THIS SHORT, BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED BOOK serves as an introduction to Francis for all those who may be interested in the saint. His Canticle is an apt 'way in' to him, for as Chesterton pointed out nearly a century ago, it is 'a supremely characteristic work' and 'much of St Francis can be reconstructed from it alone'. This book will also be a useful resource for Franciscans, in particular for those in the Secular Franciscan Order, for possible use in formation and discussion. In the vast literature on Francis and Franciscanism much has been written concerning his poem, and though most of it has been in Italian, French or German, several valuable works have appeared in English. Each in its different way is highly thought-provoking, as well as deeply spiritual and Franciscan. Each takes its own approach to the Canticle, so that it largely complements the others and says much that is new. The approach here is different again, so that those who have already read many or all of the other books should still find fresh insights and further knowledge. Seeking to grasp and express the meaning of the Canticle, the essential key is to be found in Scripture: the Old and New Testaments were always Francis' own main sources. Scripture informs all his writing and his works are dense with biblical allusions. His Canticle is no exception--with no direct biblical quotations or references, it is the free poetry of a man thoroughly versed in Scripture, which is his constant background companion. In this fascinating introduction, John Watts provides a fresh new translation as well as the original Umbrian to provide the texture and rhythm of St Francis' original composition, shown against its historical and literary background.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (54,507)
- n***z (24)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item was exactly as advertised, with no damage to the cover or pages. It was packed quite securely, with no chance to slip around and get bumped corners. The price was very affordable, considering it isn't easy to track down a copy. I only marked down one star because it took some time to ship out, which could have been better communicated in the listing. Still, highly recommend the seller.

- i***c (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseArrived new, sealed, and well packaged. Slightly more expensive than most manga but it’s less common and available, especially brand new. (I paid $16, while other listings were well over $25 ‘used’ and without shipping costs included.) Well worth the price and free shipping. Shipping time was decent but order processing time could’ve been better. Otherwise no issues. Great seller communication. Overall a wonderful experience.High School DXD: Asia & Koneko's Secret Contract!? by Ichiei Ishibumi (#146069263733)
