The Legend of Saint Francis by the Three Companions is a historical book published in 1904 by Emma Gurney Salter. The book chronicles the life and teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi, a Catholic friar and preacher who lived in Italy during the 12th and 13th centuries. The Three Companions refer to the three closest associates of Saint Francis who were instrumental in spreading his message of peace and love throughout Europe. The book covers various aspects of Saint Francis' life, including his childhood, his conversion, his founding of the Franciscan Order, and his interactions with the papacy and other religious leaders of his time. The book also includes a detailed account of Saint Francis' famous sermon to the birds, as well as his stigmata, which are believed to be the physical manifestation of his devotion to God. Emma Gurney Salter's book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and teachings of Saint Francis, as well as the history of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
