Celebrating Clare
"An outstanding book that goes behind most of the legends and stories of Saint Clare and Saint Francis of Assisi. . . . This portrays a woman in the overall strength, leader ship, caring, and daring. Not an overly meek lady who follows St Francis everywhere."—an Amazon review
Medieval scholar Marco Bartoli, as translated by Clare scholar Sister Frances Teresa Downing, reconstructs the charismatic personality of Clare of Assisi, a great medieval figure whose voice has been heard through the ages. Bartoli explores what has been said about Clare and what has not been said, between evidence and interpretation, between silence and memory, using the most important source for knowing Clare, the Legenda sanctae Clarae virginis (The Legend of Saint Clare the Virgin), written by order of the pope on the occasion of Clare's canonization.
