THOMAS OF CELANO

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 865 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THOMAS OF CELANO , Franciscan friar and disciple and biographer of St Francis of Assisi. Born at Celano in the Abruzzi, be joined St Francis probably about 1214, and he appears to have been one of the first band of friars who went into Germany. He was commissioned by Gregory IX. to write the
Life
  of St Francis, and in 1229 he completed the First Legend; in 1247 at the command of the minister general he composed the Second Legend, and a few years later the
Tract
  on the Miracles of St Francis. He also composed in 1255 the Legend of St Clare; and he is one of those to whom the sequence Dies
irae is attributed.
Thomas
  of Celano's writings on St Francis have been critically edited by E. d'Alencon in 19136; the value of this
work
  is enhanced by the fact that
critical
 
opinion
  is veering round to the view that
Thomas
  of Celano is the best authority for the
life
  of the saint (see " Note on the Sources," appended to article FRANCIS OF Assisi).
An English
translation
  (The Lives of S. Francis of Assisi by Brother Thomas of Celano) by A. G.
Ferrers
  Howell appeared in 1908. All that is known of Thomas of Celano is brought together in Edouard d'Alencon's Prolegomena; see also introduction to
Ferrers
  Howell's
translation
 . (E. C. B.)
