), 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-Pres a certain number of
houses _in parocchia SS. Cosmae et Damiani infra muros domini
regis prope portam de Gibardo (Chartularium Universitatis
Parisiensis_, no. 76. Cf. _Topographie historique du vieux
Paris; Region occid. de l'univ._, p. 95; Felibien, _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 Cite_, and on August 6, 1218, were installed in
the Convent of St. Jacques.

seems hardly to be debatable; Giordano's account (14) in fact
determines the date at which Ugolini became _officially_
