Francis of Assisi continues to hold great fascination today, with knowledge of the saint extending far beyond the church. However, understanding who Francis was, 800 years later, is not so straightforward. The temporal distance complicates comprehension, and subsequent generations have placed their own diverse emphases on Francis, creating varying images of the saint. In this masterful book, André Vauchez has succeeded in highlighting both the life and the work and impact of Francis in an outstanding manner. The award-winning title was first published in France in 2009, followed by an English translation in 2012. On the occasion of the Balzan Prize being awarded to André Vauchez, this book was recognized as the culmination of Vauchez's explorations in the field of medieval religious worldviews. His portrayal of the life, work, and impact of Francis of Assisi brings to life one of the most colorful and influential figures of the Middle Ages, who has left a deep imprint on collective memory, while also lucidly tracing the development of the myth that has formed around his figure. This impressive account of Francis of Assisi is now also available in German translation.
