A quick GOOGLE on “SERAPHIC ROSARY”, which is another name for it, came up withWhere to get Franciscan Crown Rosary?

Footnote on 28 October. The nifty thing about this rosary is its typical Franciscan simplicity. No need for the big windup as with the Dominican Rosary. No Glory Bees or Fatima prayers. Just 7 Our fathers and 70 Hail Marys, followed by 2 more Hail Mary’s to bring the number up to 72, followed by prayers for the Pope’s intentions to earn the indulgences. And this is a highly indulgenced rosary indeed.Where to get Franciscan Crown Rosary?

Harry, trust me, the merciful and loving God who knows the desires of our hearts better than we know them ourselves will richly reward your effortsFootnote on 28 October.

The decades do not need to be recited in one go. One is not required to meditate on the mysteries. This makes it ideal when I am at work at the Post Office. Anytime it looks as if I have 5 minutes of idle time, out comes another decade.
It takes me 3 decades to walk from the parking lot to the time clock, and another 2 decades to walk from the time clock to my work space. Depending on just how much work I have to do on trouble calls, I can get in 2 to 5 complete rosaries in an 8 hour shift.
Being RCIA and not in a state of Grace, I am not sure how effective my efforts are for the Holy Souls, but at least I am trying.
Thank you. By the way, the post office building I work in is quite large. I have found that I can do one decade walking from my work station to the cafeteria, clock out for lunch, clock back in a half hour later, and recite yet another decade returning to my work station.

Do you have documentation for this? According to the Handbook of Indulgences, the Rosary indulgence requires that at least five decades be recited, continuously. Where is there an official provision for the Franciscan Crown that differs from this?Footnote on 28 October. The nifty thing about this rosary is its typical Franciscan simplicity.

Not really. I got this information from MY TREASURY OF CHAPLETS by Patricia S. Quintiliana. I would be saddened to find out that she has been passing on erronious information.Do you have documentation for this?

Thank you for the links. Especially the second one with…bspenance.org/franciscancrown/index.shtml
and
thegrotto.org/chaplet_of_st_francis.htm
have the same information as Andruschek’s book states…
I would note that although it is usually called a rosary–because it is so nearly the same as the rosary, the Franciscan Crown is technically a chaplet, but not a rosary chaplet. It is a devotion all its own; still, its similarity to the 5 decade rosary makes it natural to think of it as simply a variation of the rosary.
My 2nd link refers to Pope Pius X as having extended the indulgences for the Franciscan Crown in 1908.
