Interpretation: One of the earliest copies of the Franciscan collection compiled by the Order at Assisi, ca. 1311-1312, as supporting evidence in its dispute with the dissident Spiritual Franciscans. The opening initial shown here depicts St. Francis frontally, bearded and tonsured with a gold halo, wearing a grey habit, showing the Stigmata (wounds of the passion) and holding a book cradled in his left hand.
