Coulton's From St. Francis to Dante (London, Xutt, 1906, pp. vi. 364). which is a translation of a large part of the chronicle together with illustrations from other medieval sources, and a running commentary.

Wauer, who in 1903 published a disserta- tion on Die Anfiinge des Klarisscnordcns in den Slawischcn Landern. The book includes chronological lists, arranged under countries, and an alphabetical table of the 135 houses of the order that are dealt with.
