medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I am curious to know the context that prompted this question. I have never come across reference to Francis as the bride of Christ; Yes, there is plenty of reference to Francis and his espousal to Lady Poverty and there is much later reference to Francis as "alter Christus", but "bride of Christ" is new to me.

I am curious whether the application of the "bride of Christ" model to Saint Francis was at all common, and if so, would greatly appreciate primary sources and/or scholarship discussing it. Thank you in advance. Jessica A.
