[6] Thomas of Celano must be in error when he declares that Francis was not acquainted with Cardinal Ugolini before the visit which he made him at Florence (summer of 1217): _Nondum alter alteri erat praecipua familiaritate conjunctus_ (1 Cel., 74 and 75).

The Franciscan biographer's purpose was not historic; chronological indications are given in profusion; what he seeks is the _apta junctura_.

Tradition has preserved the memory of a chapter held at Portiuncula in presence of Ugolini during a stay of the curia at Perugia (_Spec._, 137b.; _Fior_., 18; _Conform._, 207a; 3 Soc., 61).

But the curia did not come back to Perugia between 1216 and Francis's death.
