Very early postincunabulum of this famous biography of Saint Francis of Assisi. Jean Barbier and Jean Frellon edition, though no copy has been found with Frellon name, printed after 1508 as Barbier became that year "librarii jurati". The "Legenda maior" was ordered to the Franciscan Bonaventura (1221-1274) in 1263 and is composed of a prologue, the biography of the Saint and by miracles occured after his death. The theologian and cardinal of Albino Bonaventura studied at the University of Paris under Alexander of Hales and John of Rochelle and became Doctor at the same time of Thomas ab Aquinas in 1257. The same year, because of his order defense against the anti-medicant party, he was named Minister General of the Franciscan Order. Bonaventura was canonised in 1482 and named Doctor of the Church in 1587 (nicknamed "Seraphi Doctor"). Text in Gothic typesetting with ornemental initial letters, mostly dotted, and with the mark of Jean Frellon, also dotted, on the title-page contrarly of the copy listed by Renouard which presents the vignette of Barbier. # Renouard.- Imprimeurs et libraires parisiens du XVIe siècle.
