And, as Charles T. Davis notes, "Its diffusion was very extensive, and manuscripts of it are scattered over Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Belgium, and England."16 Mystics and reformers alike revered its author, as they did his work. At the dawn of the tempestuous fourteenth century, Ubertino's Tree of the Crucified Life of Jesus became the spark and the touchstone of a new genre of portraits of Francis, the prophet.

8. Following the example of his mentor, Peter of John Olivi, Ubertino uses the word status to describe the three "ages" of world history and the seven "periods" of church history. He also uses status to refer to the calling of the Lesser Brothers. Thus status is used in a variety of senses, all of which are difficult to translate consistently. Cf. David Burr, Olivi's Peaceable Kingdom: A Reading of the Apocalypse Commentary (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1993).
