Reviews

'…plausible and usually persuasive…'
Patrick Nold, English Historical Review, 2002.
'Friedlander […] succeeds admirably in his task of recovering Bernard Francisan and giving us a firmly grounded picture of what it could mean to follow the ideals of the saint of Assisi in the turbulent context of the late 1200s and early 1300s.'
James B. Given, Speculum, 2001.
