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.

"...offers an excellent introduction, helpful sidebars, notes and fascinating illustrations, [aiding readers] in engaging 'personally with Francis, the human being.'" -Publishers Weekly

"...offers a clear and temperate introduction to Sabatier's passionate, controversial engagement with the radical life and message of St. Francis." -Valerie Martin, author of Salvation: Scenes from the Life of Saint Francis
