There's also a history of stigmatics and of the definitions given to the
stigmata before Francis in Octavian Schmucki, O.F.M. Cap., The Stigmata of St.
Francis of Assisi: A critical Investigation in teh Light of Thirteenth-Century
Sources, trans. Canisius F. Connors, OFM Franciscan Institute Publications,
History Series 6, ed. Jason M. Miskuly, OFM (NY: St. Bonaventure, 1991), see
especially p. 181, ft. 5. See also L. Randellini, Fondamenti biblici e valori
teologicao-esistenziali delle stimmate di S. Francesco, in Studi Francescani 71
(1974): 123 - 76.
Hope it helps,
