Abstract

The Arbor vitae crucifixae Jesu, written by the Franciscan monk Ubertino de Casale, is a meditation on the Passion of Christ, written in 1305. The Arbor vitae criticizes the church's organization and the established Franciscan Orders' less than stringent view on mendicant life. This text, printed in 1485 in Venice, is the only fifteenth-century edition of the work.

Decoration
