Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

It has been said that Saint Francis has the longest bibliography of any person in history. Attesting to that claim is The Prophet, the third hefty volume in the Francis of Assisi: The Early Documents series. Here, we see early Franciscan monks discussing the sayings of their order's founder; original sources and hagiographies are offered with explanatory introductions and helpful annotations.

From Library Journal

It is difficult to offer sufficient praise for this outstanding series of documents, necessary to the happiness of the casual or professional student of the life and works of Francis of Assisi. Scrupulously and plainly translated, generously collected, effectively presented, this final volume in the "Early Documents" series gathers up works relevant to the reception of Francis's achievement in the years after his death. Included are additional biographies, some in verse; chronicles of the early history of the Franciscan order; liturgies; and papal proclamations relevant to the Order. It is as beautifully done as its two predecessors. Highly recommended.
