Note 55 — Chapter V · PARIS UNDER PHILIP AUGUSTUS AND ST. LOUIS
Reading edition
St. Louis loved the Franciscans, and in the Fioretti a beautiful story is told how the king, in the guise of a pilgrim, visiting Brother Giles at Perugia, knelt with the good friar in the embrace of fervent affection for a great space of time in silence. They parted without speaking a word.
