Il Cantico di Frate Sole Add a review

The Canticle of the Sun, also known as Canticle of the Creatures and Laudes Creaturarum (Praise of the Creatures), is a religious song composed by Saint Francis of Assisi. It was written in an Umbrian dialect of Italian but has since been translated into many languages. It is believed to be the first work of literature written in the Italian language with a known author. It was composed in San Damiano, Assisi and in the Vescovado (for the last two stanzas).
