had the gift of miracles. Giord., 11; _Conform._, 62a, 1.

[39] He was not an ordinary man; a remarkable administrator and
orator (Eccl., 6), he was minister in France before 1224 and
again in 1240, thanks to the zeal with which he had adopted the
ideas of Brother Elias. He was nephew of Gregory IX., which
throws some light upon the practices which have just been
described. After having been swept away in Elias's disgrace and
condemned to prison for life, he became in the end Bishop of
Bayeux. I note for those who take an interest in those things
that manuscripts of two of his sermons may be found in the
National Library of Paris. The author of them being indicated
simply as _fr. Gr. min._, it has only lately become known whose
they were. These sermons were preached in Paris on Holy Thursday
and Saturday. MS. new. acq., Lat., 338 f^o 148, 159.

[41] Giord., 12. Cf. Bull _Sacrosancta_ of December 9, 1219.

[42] Giord., 12. Ought we, perhaps, to read di Campello? Half
way between Foligno and Spoleto there is a place of this name.
On the other hand, the 3 Soc., 35, indicate the entrance into
the Order of a Giovanni di Capella who in the legend became the
Franciscan Judas. _Invenit abusum capelle et ab ipsa denominatus
est: ab ordine recedens factus leprosus laqueo ut Judas se
suspendit._ _Conform._, 104a, 1. Cf. _Bernard de Besse_, 96a;
_Spec._, 2; _Fior._, 1. All this is much mixed up. Perhaps we
should believe that Giovanni di Campello died shortly afterward,
and that later on, when the stories of this troubled time were
