a. Celano's Life of St. Francis for Use in the Choir.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Sabatier, Paul and Houghton, Louise Seymour
Thomas of Celano made also a short legend for use in the choir. It is divided into nine lessons and served for the Franciscan breviaries up to the time when St. Bonaventura made his Legenda Minor.
That of Celano may be found in part (the first three lessons) in the Assisi MS. 338, fol. 52a-53b; it is preceded by a letter of envoy: "Rogasti me frater Benedicte, ut de legenda B. P. N. F. quædam exciperem et in novem lectionum seriem ordinarem ... etc. B. Franciscus de civitate Assisii ortus a puerilibus annis nutritus extitit insolenter."
