Scholarly Commentary

Introduction

This is a passage excerpted from Jacopone da Todi's Laude no. XC, “Amor de caritate” (lines 147-162). DGR's source text was Poeti del Primo Secolo (I. 30), where the work is attributed incorrectly to St. Francis of Assisi.

See DGR's translation for further commentary.
