Description: This illustrated book seeks to grasp and express the meaning of the Canticle. The essential key is to be found in Scripture: the Old and New Testaments were always Francis' own main sources. Scripture informs all his writing and his works are dense with biblical allusions.

His Canticle is no exception, with no direct biblical quotations or references, it is the free poetry of a man thoroughly versed in Scripture, which is his constant background companion.

In the introduction, John Watts provides a fresh new translation as well as the original Umbrian to provide the texture and rhythm of St Francis' original composition, shown against its historical and literary background.
