ABSTRACT
Ed. L. von Heinemann, MGH Scr., Vol. XXIX, p. $80; also ed. L. Lemmens in Testimonia Minora 5. Francisci saeculi joïï, p. 10. Thomas of Spalato was an archdeacon, a member of the secular clergy, and gives us a contemporary description not written by a friar of Francis’s preaching. For another story showing that Francis’s success as a preacher was not due to his appearance, see SL, No. 103.
