The son of a Catalan poet, Joan Coloma, Alonso also produced poetry in Latin and Catalan. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Aimed at a Franciscan Capuchin community of nuns known as Poor Clares, this book contains the Franciscan rule as communicated to Saint Clare or Chiara of Assisi, and written by her, and so begins with her testament and rule, covering the election of abbesses, the practice of poverty and observance of silence, work, visitation, etc. There follows the main rule of St. Francis, covering habits and dress, abstinence, confession, enclosure, discipline and obedience, hours of sleep and eating, etc. The divine offices of the day are also described in detail, with prayers and orders of services to be used.
