Written two years after his mentor's death, Thomas of Celano composed The Life of Francis of Assisi, a portrait of the newly canonized Umbrian. Less than twenty years later, in The Remembrance of the Desire of a Soul, Thomas conveyed the wonder and uniqueness of the saint's life and vision with poetic power. Hardly had this work become known, when Thomas composed a comprehensive, orderly view of extraordinary events in Francis's life, The Treatise on the Miracles. The three classic works appear here for the first time in one volume.
