Abstract

Brother Elijah played an important role at the beginning of the Order of the Lesser Brothers if only considering that Francis chose him as General Minister of the Order and his vicar. After the death of Francis, Elijah set up a secure reference for Clare and for the religious women who wished to follow the example of Francis, departing from the lines indicated by Gregory IX to the new female monastic Order founded by him. He tried also to direct the monastery of s. Damiano into his new monastic Order. When Brother Elijah fell into disgrace and took refuge at Fredrik II, Clare could no longer rely on its help, but contacts between Assisi and Cortona are not interrupted, as it reveals the presence of Brother Angelo to Brother Elijah's death and, after a few months, to Clare’s death
