Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating look at the life of Blessed Giles of Assisi, one of the earliest followers of St. Francis and a key figure in the early Franciscan movement. The author delves into Giles' journey, from his initial call to poverty and his decision to join St. Francis to his later years spent in contemplation and spiritual reflection. Through a blend of historical accounts and analysis of primary sources, the author sheds light on Giles' motivations, experiences, and impact on the development of the Franciscan Order. The book explores the complex tapestry of early Franciscan history, exploring themes of poverty, missionary zeal, and the tension between the active and contemplative lives. We witness Giles' struggles with the temptations of the devil, his profound humility, and his unwavering dedication to the ideals of St. Francis. The author's meticulous examination of the various manuscripts and sources, including the "Short Life" and the "Long Life" of Blessed Giles, provides valuable insights into the early Franciscan literary tradition and helps to illuminate the life and legacy of this remarkable individual.
