SUMMARY:Master Class on St. Francis of Assisi: “How to Write a Biography of a Medieval Saint”
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nIn his new book\, Francis of Assisi: A New Biography\, Augustine Thompson\, O.P.\, sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies. This one-day master class will consider whether the historical Francis can be recovered from countless modern and medieval appropriations and compare Fr. Thompson’s biography on Francis’s early life with a variety of biographical sources. \nAmong the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition\, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181-1226) is popularly remembered for his dedication to poverty\, his love of animals and nature\, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. During his lifetime and after his death\, followers collected\, for their own purposes\, numerous stories\, anecdotes\, and reports about Francis. As a result\, the man himself and his own concerns became lost in legend. \nParticipants are also encouraged to attend the symposium on Francis of Assisi: A New Biography (Wednesday\, January 23 at 4:30PM) and lecture on Francis of Assisi: Lost between Myth and History (Thursday\, January 24 at 7:ooPM ) by Fr. Thompson\, both of which will take place in Swift Hall\, 3rd Floor Lecture Hall\, 1025 East 58th Street. \nReading List: \n\n“The Franciscan Question” (pp. 153-70)\n“Chapter 1: When I was in my sins\, 1181-1205” (pp. 3-18)\n“Sources and Debate on Chapter 1” (pp. 189-206)
