With him were two assistants who are known by name Apollonius a Greek, which in part accounts for the stiff Byzantine figures in this work, and another who has left his signature, "Jacobus Sancti Francisci Frater" evidently a monastic craftsman.
"Frigida Francisci lapis hic tegit ossa Petrarcae; Suscipe, Virgo parens, animam; sate Virgine, parce Fessaque jam terris Coeli requiescat in arce."
"Eyn gar fruchtbar vū nutsbarlich buchbleyn vō dë Babstlichē stul: vmud von sant Peter: vund vō den, die warhafftige schef-lein Christi sein, die Christus vner herr Petro befolen hat in sein hute vnd reglrung, gemacht durch bruder Augustinū Alueldt sant Francisci ordens tzu Leiptsk."

This first school was succeeded by a second of surpassing extravagance. Hoffman von Hoffmannswaldau, A.D. 1679, the founder of the second Silesian school, was a caricature of Opitz, Lohenstein of Gryphius, Besser of Flemming, Talander and Ziegler of Zesen, and even Francisci was outdone by that most intolerable of romancers, Happel.
"Yes, it is all true, is it not? It is in the Flores Sancti Francisci." The earl smiled. "Come, my boy, I forgive thee. "My good brother of Leicester, the lad is made for a Franciscan; don't spoil a good friar by making him a warrior." "And Franciscan he shall be.
