Excerpt from The Disciple of a Saint: Being the Imaginary Biography of Raniero Di Landoccio Dei Pagliaresi Dearest Father in Christ Jesus, - My negligence - I need say no more - but I write you with grief and pain, for our father, and our comfort, and our helper, and our refreshment, and our thinker, and our every joy and good - ah! His gentleness, and holy life, and holy conversation I Alas, wretched ones, orphans, whither shall we go, what good may we possess, since our blessing has left us? Ah me, Ser Jacopo, I know not what to do I Know that our love and our father, Neri di Landoccio, took ill on the eighth of March and could not recover from his cough. Alas l he passed from this life with all the holy sacraments on the twelfth of March, and was buried by the brothers of Monte Oliveto outside the Porta Tufi. He died in the morning at the aurora, at the dawning of the day. I need not commend to you his blessed soul. I, poor man, am left to distribute everything he had. I, Luca, gave to Monna Caterina, mantellata, three double chest coverings and two old ones, and a pair of stockings and some old worn socks, and the old mantle, and two worn-out feather pillows, a broken bed, and a pair of spectacles, and a shirt, and an old chair. To Monna Nera a pair of old torn sheets. To Fonghino a bag and an old torn towel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
