Dear Jan,
Welcome to medieval-religion (very belatedly)! I hope you'll find yourself to be in
good company; several of us have interests in areas close to yours -- in fact
(inter alia), Sharon Hackett of McGill University mentioned during the Kalamazoo
round table we had on Sunday that she works on French-language hagiographical
texts.
Could you give us the bibliographical information of your edition of the Francis
vita?
Best wishes,
George
