• Excerpt from Saint Bonaventure: The Seraphic Doctor, Minister-General of the Franciscan Order, Cardinal Bishop of AlbanoUnder the influence of St. Bonaventure this was successfully accomplished. Among the many elements that entered into this process of development we must, perhaps, assign the most conspicuous place to the systematic pur suit of learning which our Saint engrafted on St. Francis' ideal of contemplation and zeal, and which, under the guidance of God's Pro vidonce, has been destined to render the Franciscan Order an effective force in dealing with the world's most vital problems. Together with this pursuit of learning came the intro duction into the Order of a uniform exterior observance. an Observance inculcated and fostered by a systematized code of Constitu tions and'ordinances which remain substanti ally the same to-day as when first framed centuries ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
