Life of St. Francis of Assisi

CHAPTER XII
32/35

_O quanti maxime in principio cum haec agerentur novellae plantationi ordinis insidiabantur ut perderent._ Cf.

2 Cel., 1, 16.

_Videbat Franciscus luporum more sevire quamplures._ [34] 1 Cel., 73 (cf.

2 Cel., 1, 17; _Spec._, 102a); 3 Soc., 64; Bon., 78.

The fixing of this scene in the winter of 1217-1218 seems hardly to be debatable; Giordano's account (14) in fact determines the date at which Ugolini became _officially_ protector of the Order; it supposes earlier relations between Honorius, Francis, and Ugolini.
