A whisper light brown spotting (acidic paper reaction) to upper text block. A compilation 14th century simple stories, strong in doctrine & versed in theology of St Francis of Assisi. Edited & translated to English by Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning (1808 - 1892). The tales emerged some 100 years after the death of venerated recipient of the stigmata St Francis (1181 or 1182 ? 1226). 303 pgs, color plates, in 48 chapters. Read how the Saint concluded peace between the people of Gubbio and the preying wolf of the mountains --- responding to St Francis' gentle demeanor & voice, the savage wolf places its paw in the saintly hand, and stopped attacking the villagers. The Middle Ages gave space to both the commonplace and the miraculous.
