During the Black Death, of one hundred and forty Dominicans at Montpellier, but seven survived; in Ma.r.s.eilles, of a hundred and sixty, not one. The mortality in the Franciscan Order was reckoned at one hundred and twenty-four thousand four hundred and thirty-four members, which is a manifest exaggeration.--Hoffman, Geschichte der Inquisition, II. 374-5.

In 1246 Innocent IV. received a very civil letter from Melik el-Mansur Na.s.sir, the ruler of Edessa, expressing his regret that mutual ignorance of each others' language prevented his engaging in theological disputation with the Dominicans sent for his conversion.--Berger, Registres d'Innoc.

It is an interesting ill.u.s.tration of the softened temper of the nineteenth century to see, in 1842, the learned and zealous Dominican, Lacordaire, writing his "Vie de S. Dominique" to prove the impossibility of Dominic's partic.i.p.ation in the cruelty of the Inquisition exactly one hundred years after an equally learned and zealous Dominican, Ricchini, had claimed the Inquisition as the glorious work of the saint. Yet since the time of Lacordaire there has been a reaction, and M. l'Abbe Douais does not hesitate to state, on the authority of Sixtus V., that "Saint Dominique aurait ainsi recu une delegation pontificale pour l'Inquisition apres l'annee 1209" (Sources de l'Histoire de l'Inquisition, Revue des Questions Historiques, 1 Oct. 1881, p. 400).

The disturbances at Ma.r.s.eilles show the favoritism always manifested towards the Mendicants. Two clerks, whom the Dominicans had procured to depose falsely against the inquisitor, were punished with perpetual prison, degradation, and inability to hold benefices; the bishop who had listened to them was suspended from his office and jurisdiction, while the friars who had suborned the perjury and caused the whole trouble were let off with rendering humiliating apologies and transferred to another province. (Martene ubi sup.)

There has been some dispute as to whether Fra Filippo Bonaccorso was a Franciscan or a Dominican. Wadding (l. c.) prints a bull of 1277 in which he is addressed as a Franciscan, but one in the Coll. Doat, T.

x.x.xII. fol. 155, characterizes him as a Dominican.
