12mo - 19 x 12 cm.; 95 pp. First published in 1984 and revised in 2006, this is the second printing of the revised edition. The "Assidua" or "Vita prima" was completed in 1232 and according to Bernard Przewozny OFM, the translator, this is the first translatiuon into English of the Latin text with reference to Vergilio Gamboso's Italian translation of the work. Other than some very slight wear to the cover edges, the book appears to have never been used.
