Century Allegory" by da Parma Giovanni is a medieval allegorical work written in the 13th century. This text is a vivid exploration of the concepts of poverty and virtue as personified by the character Lady Poverty and her relationship with St. Francis of Assisi. The narrative recounts Francis' zealous search for Lady Poverty, illustrating the spiritual significance of embracing poverty as a path to divine favor and understanding. At the start of this allegorical tale, the Blessed Francis is portrayed as an earnest seeker, fervently searching for Lady Poverty, whom he regards as a noble and essential virtue. He faces opposition and misunderstanding from the world around him, including wise men who dismiss his inquiries. Guided by two elderly figures who suggest he climb a mountain to find her, Francis takes up the challenge, taking companions with him. As they ascend, their determination and devotion become clear, setting the stage for rich discussions on the value and virtues associated with poverty, ultimately depicted as a relationship involving respect, admiration, and the pursuit of a higher spiritual calling.
