Students of the discalced Carmelite reform will see here similar attitudes and obstacles to overcome to establish reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chronicle while near contemporary and a great source for information on the order, is also a spiritual treatise of first rank, on the virtues which the men of that age felt were necessary to not only wear the habit of St. Francis, but truly embrace the spirit of their founder. This should be considered as a quintessential Franciscan work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fra Ruffino Da Siena, Fra Bernadino Da Colpetrazzo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1953746403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953746405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mediatrix Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Fra Ruffino Da Siena","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990985507071,"sku":"9781953746405","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b130afa8-73b1-47dd-9d50-4ff61250ee20.jpg?v=1683307786","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-capuchin-chronicle-fra-ruffino-da-siena-9781953746405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
