This revised second edition of the writings of St Clare (available in the UK now for the first time), skilfully translated from the original Latin and knowledgeably annotated by Sr Frances Teresa Downing osc, is a welcome addition to the small but growing corpus of writings on St Clare of Assisi. Volume 1 includes St Clare’s four letters to St Agnes of Prague, the Letter to Ermentrude of Bruges, the Blessing of St Clare, the Form of Life, and the Testament. Fully referenced throughout against biblical and Franciscan sources, the book is enhanced not only by the author’s extensive research but also by her lived experience of life as a Poor Clare.
