Excerpt from The Franciscan Poets in Italy of the Thirteenth Century
Frederick ozanam was born in the year 1813 and died in the year 1853, and his centenary has therefore just been celebrated in the year 1913. This, his chief literary work, which, to quote an eminent Catholic writer, remains to this day one of the indispensable authorities for the history of literature, of Catholicism, and of Italy, Will now appeal to a larger public in England; for, though all those who have striven to bring to light the hidden truths of Franciscan literature Whether in Germany, France, or Italy - have given unquestioning testimony to the pre eminence of Frederick Ozanam as an authority on the subject, no English translation of his inspiring and illuminating work has yet been attempted. No other book reproduces so sincerely and truly the spirit of the Franciscan movement, With all the glow of its religious ecstasy and all the charm of its innocent.
