Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mediaeval Revival
Western civilization, received from the religious sentiment a constant and noble inspiration. Up to the thirteenth oentury Italian Christianity had its precursors, prophets, martyrs; it had the full consciousness of its genius only in the season when the good newsfrom Assisi irra diated the valleys of Umbria. From the time of St. F rancis it illumines every great soul and penetrates to the last reoesses of the Italian character. Its beams, emanating from the great Christians of the twelfth and the thirteenth centuries, have rested over the cradle of john the Pisan, of Giotto, of Jac0pone da Todi, and of Dante.'
