Homes of the First Franciscans in Umbria is a book written by Beryl D. De Selincourt that explores the history and architecture of the first Franciscan homes in the Umbria region of Italy, as well as the borders of Tuscany and the Northern Marches. The book provides a detailed account of the Franciscan movement, which began in the 13th century and had a significant impact on the religious and cultural landscape of Italy. The author takes the reader on a journey through the various sites of Franciscan significance in Umbria, including the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, the Convent of San Damiano, and the Hermitage of the Carceri. Through detailed descriptions and photographs, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the architecture and design of these buildings, as well as the historical context in which they were built. In addition to exploring the Franciscan sites themselves, the book also delves into the lives of the early Franciscans and their impact on the region. The author provides insight into the daily life of the Franciscans, their spiritual practices, and their relationships with the local community. Overall, Homes of the First Franciscans in Umbria is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique perspective on the history and culture of Italy through the lens of the Franciscan movement.
