Hagiography - Clare, of Assisi, Saint

Description

In 1496 the Poor Clares at the Convento di Santa Chiara Novella in Florence commissioned the Florentine humanist Ugolino Verino to write this Life of St. Clare in Italian, so that those sisters who lacked Latin education could read of their founder's saintly poverty. This edition is an illuminated manuscript believed to be in Verino's handwriting.
