Our aim in this work will be that of discovering the true nature of Francis’ inner anguish, the solitude he was bound to suffer at seeing the brothers taking a different course from the one he cherished. At the same time, however, we shall try to understand what the brothers also were feeling regarding Francis, and why they also were convinced that the way forward was bound to be slightly or radically different from the original proposal of the founder. Our aim is that of taking into consideration what the sources have to say regarding the last years and moments of Francis’ life, and present them within the context of events unfolding in the Order, which were already pointers at future choices and directions that the Order would take in the decades immediately following upon the death of the founder.

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.
