Author Description

Excerpt from From St. Francis to Dante: Translations From the Chronicle of the Franciscan Salimbene; 1221-1288 The present edition contains a considerable amount of fresh matter from Salimbene's chronicle, omitted from the first mainly for the insufficient reason that I had already published it else where. The notes and appendices have been even more extended, especially on points where different critics seemed to think the evidence inadequate.
