VI. Chronicle of the XXIV. Generals36
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Sabatier, Paul and Houghton, Louise Seymour
We find here at the end of the life of Francis that of most of his companions, and the events that occurred under the first twenty-four generals.
It is a very ordinary work of compilation. The authors have sought to include in it all the pieces which they had succeeded in collecting, and the result presents a very disproportioned whole. A thorough study of it might be interesting and useful, but it would be possible only after its publication. This cannot be long delayed: twice (at intervals of fifteen months) when I have desired to study the Assisi manuscript it was found to be with the Franciscans of Quaracchi, who were preparing to print it.
It is difficult not to bring the epoch in which this collection was closed near to that when Bartolommeo of Pisa wrote his famous work. Perhaps the two are quite closely related.
This chronicle was one of Glassberger's favorite sources.
