Testament

Francis of Assisi

A memoir of his own conversion (the lepers, the churches, the first brothers, the revelation to live according to the Gospel, the greeting 'The Lord give you peace') and a final exhortation to keep the Rule 'simply and without gloss', forbidding requests for privileges from the curia. It is Francis's most personal text and the main autobiographical source on his life.
