LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS IN THE LIGHT OF ST. BONAVENTURE’S THEOLOGY ON THE “VERBUM CRUCIFIXUM”

This is the doctoral dissertation I presented at the Pontificium Athenaeum Antonianum way back in 1988. The publication studies the theology of the Crucified Word in the writings of St. Bonaventure as applied to the life of Saint Francis of Assisi in the “Legenda Maior” composed by the Seraphic Doctor in 1260-1263.
