Vide Cardella, _Memorie storiche de' Cardinali_, 9 vols., 8vo,
Rome, 1792 ff., t. i., p. 177. He was at Rome in the summer of
1210, for on the 11th of August he countersigned the bull
_Religiosem vitam_. Potthast, 4061. Angelo Clareno relates the
approbation with more precision in certain respects: _Cum vero
Summo Pontifici ea quae postulabat [Franciscus] ardua valde et
quasi impossibilia viderentur infirmitate hominum sui temporis,
exhortabatur eum, quod aliquem ordinem vel regulam de approbatis
assumeret, at ipse se a Christo missum ad talem vitam et non
aliam postulandam constanter affirmans, fixus in sua petitione
permansit. Tunc dominus Johannes de Sancto Paulo episcopus
Sabinensis et dominus Hugo episcopus Hostiensis Dei spiritu moti

intervention of Ugolini is mentioned in no other document. It
is, however, by no means impossible. He also was in Rome in the
summer of 1210. (Vide Potthast, p. 462.)

much worked over by tradition and gives us only an echo of the
reality. It would certainly have needed very little for the
Penitents to meet the same fate before Innocent III. as the
Waldenses before Lucius III. Traces of this interview are found
in two texts which appear to me to be too suspicious to warrant
their insertion in the body of the narrative. The first is a
fragment of Matthew Paris: _Papa itaque in fratre memorato
habitum deformem, vultum despicabilem, barbam prolixam, capillos
incultos, supercilia pendentia et nigra diligenter considerans;
cum petitionem ejus tam arduam et executione impossibilem
