them March 7, 1222, but instead of the formula usual in
such cases, a revised form had been made expressly for them,
with a handsome eulogy. Ripolli, _Bull. Praed._, t. i., p. 15.

[6] It is needless to say that local traditions, in this case,
though as to detail they must be accepted only with great
reserve, yet on the whole are surely true. The geography of St.
Francis's life is yet to be made.

[13] Francis's successors were nearly all without exception
students of Bologna. Pietro di Catana was doctor of laws, as
also Giovanni Parenti (Giord., 51).--Elias had been _scriptor_
at Bologna.--Alberto of Pisa had been minister there (Eccl.,
6).--Aymon had been reader there (Eccl., 6).--Crescentius wrote
works on jurisprudence (_Conform._, 121b, 1, etc., etc.).

[14] This name cannot be warranted; he is called Giovanni di
Laschaccia in a passage of the _Conformities_ (104a, 1); Pietro
Schiaccia in the Italian MS. of the _Tribulations_ (f^o 75a);
Petrus Stacia in the Laurentinian MS. (13b; cf. _Archiv._, ii.,
p. 258). _Tribul._, 13b; _Spec._, 184b. This story has been much
amplified in other places. _Spec._, 126a; _Conform._, 104b, 1.

into the Order. Cf., _Chartularium Univ. Par._, t. i., nos. 47
and 49.

[16] Eccleston's entire chronicle is a living witness to this.

Compare the _Constitutiones antiquae_ (_Speculum_, Morin, iii.,
f^o 195b-206) with the Rule. From the opening chapters the
contradiction is apparent: _Ordinamus quod nullus recipiatur in
ordine nostro nisi sit talis clericus qui sit competenter
instructus in grammatica vel lo
