medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Sandra,
The latest translation of the Mirrow of Perfection, both the Lemmens
edition and the Sabatier edition can be found in _Francis of Assisi: Early
Documents_ Vol III: The Prophet. (NY: New City Press, 2001). It was not
written by Brother Leo, but is based on some of the material that Leo
submitted to the General Chapter for use by Thomas of Celano in his 2nd Life
of Francis (1252).
Best wishes,
Cyprian Rosen
