The Lady Poverty (Sacrum commercium)

Name: The Lady Poverty (Sacrum commercium)
Author: Anonymous Franciscan (13th century)

Anonymous Franciscan (13th century)

Montgomery Carmichael's English (John Murray, 1901) of the allegory of the Blessed Francis and his companions seeking and wedding Lady Poverty, written in 1227 after Francis's death: the twenty-five chapters of the translation with Carmichael's notes, the Scripture references of the margin placed in parentheses. Carmichael's chapters differ from the thirty-two of the Latin book, so it is a separate book of the same work.

Source: The translation only, chapters I-XXV, with Carmichael's footnotes; the introduction, Father Cuthbert's chapter on evangelical poverty and the appendices are not imported.
