Fragments of Another Rule
Fragmenta alterius Regulae
Textual remains that allow a glimpse of the drafting process between the rules of 1221 and 1223. Their interest is critical rather than devotional: they show which passages were removed or reworded in the version approved by the curia.

Authorship note
Passages of an intermediate or lost redaction of the rule quoted by Hugh of Digne, by Celano's second life and by a Worcester manuscript; Esser collects them as authentic.
