Who was Francis of Assisi? Where did he come from and what can we learn from his life?
Originally published in French in 1894, Sabatier’s was the
first modern biography of Francis of Assisi. It was a worldwide bestseller, and in 2003 when this new edition was first published, it again sold more than 60,000 copies and was a selection of History Book Club.
This new 120th anniversary edition includes a dozen additional annotations and a new preface by the editor, putting Sabatier’s influential work into
its historical context, showing why it is still the most essential life of the saint.
