Contents
An account of the manner in which St. Francis obtained an Indulgence of the Portiuncula (the little chapel of St. Mary of the Angels, near Assisi) from Pope Honorius III in 1216, giving remission of sins to all who should visit the Portiuncula on any 2 August, the day of its consecration after St. Francis restored it. The text is taken from the Franciscan Bartolomeo de Rinonichi da Pisa's De conformitate vitae B. Francisci ad vitam Domine Iesu, officially approved by the Order in 1399.
