[21.] V. bull of January 23, 1217, Tempus acceptabile, Potthast, no. 5430, given in Horoy, t. ii., col. 205 ff.; cf. Pressuti, i., p. 71. This bull and those following fix without question the time of the journey to Florence. Potthast, 5488, 5487, and page 495.
[22.] It is superfluous to point out the error of the Bollandist text in the phrase Monuit (Cardinalis Franciscum) cœptum non perficere iter, where the non is omitted, A. SS., p. 704. Cf., p. 607 and 835, which has led Suysken into several other errors.

[25.] Brother Pacifico interests us [the French people] particularly as the first minister of the Order in France; information about him is abundant: Bon., 79; 2 Cel., 3, 63; Spec., 41b.: Conform., 38a, 1; 43a, 1; 71b; 173b, 1, and 176; 2 Cel., 8, 27; Spec., 38b; Conform., 181b; 2 Cel., 3, 76; Fior., 46; Conform., 70a. I do not indicate the general references found in Chevalier's Bibliography. The Miscellanea, t. ii. (1887), p. 158, contains a most precise and interesting column about him. Gregory IX. speaks of him in the bull Magna sicut dicitur of August 12, 1227. Sbaralea, Bull, fr., i., p. 33 (Potthast, 8007). Thomas of Tuscany, socius of St. Bonaventura, knew him and speaks of him in his Gesta Imperatorum (Mon. germ. hist. script., t. 22, p. 492).

[27.] Toward 1224 the Brothers Minor desired to draw nearer and build a vast convent near the walls of Paris in the grounds called Vauvert, or Valvert (now the Luxembourg Garden), (Eccl., 10; cf. Top. hist. du vieux Paris, by Berty and Tisserand, t. iv., p. 70). In 1230 they received at Paris from the Benedictines of Saint-Germain-des-Prés a certain number of houses in parocchia SS. Cosmæ et Damiani infra muros domini regis prope portam de Gibardo (Chartularium Universitatis Parisiensis, no. 76. Cf. Topographie historique du vieux Paris; Région occid. de l'univ., p. 95; Félibien, Histoire de la ville de Paris, i., p. 115). Finally, St. Louis installed them in the celebrated Convent of the Cordeliers, the refectory of which still exists, transformed into the Dupuytren Museum. The Dominicans, who arrived in Paris September 12, 1217, went straight to the centre of the city, near the bishop's palace on the Ile de la Cité, and on August 6, 1218, were installed in the Convent of St. Jacques.

[29.] The traces of Francis's visit here are numerous. A Brother Eudes painted his portrait here.
