De honore & reuerentia factis Domino Cani.
VNum tantùm referam de magno Cane quod vidi. Consuetudo est in partibus illis quòd quando predictus dominus per aliquam contratam transit, homines ante ostia sua accen∣dunt ignem & apponunt aromata, ac faciunt fumum, vt dominus transiens suauem sentiat odo∣rem, & multi obuiam sibi vadunt. Dum autem semel veniret in Cambeleth, & fama vndique diuulgaretur de suo aduentu, vnus noster Episcopus, & aliqui nostri minores fratres & ego iuimus obuiàm sibi benè per duas dietas: Et dum appropinquaremus ad eum, posui∣mus crucem super lignum, & ego habebam mecum in manu thuribulum, & incepimus can∣tare alta voce dicentes: Veni creator spiritus: Et dum sic cantaremus audiuit voces nostras, fecitque nos vocari, ac iussit nos ad eum accedere; cùm vt suprà dictum est, nullus audeat appropinquare currui suo ad iactum lapidis, nisi vocatus, exceptis illis qui currum custodiunt. Et dum iuissemus ad eum, ipse deposuit galerum suum, siue capellū inestimabilis quasi valoris, &

fecit reuerentiam Cruci; & statim incensum posui in thuribulo; Episcopus noster acce∣pit thuribulum, & thurificauit eum; ac sibi praedictus Episcopus dedit benedictionem su∣am. Accedentes verò ad praedictum dominum, sempèr sibi aliquid off••rendum deferunt; se∣cum illam antiquam legem obseruantes; Non apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus; Idcir∣cò portauimus nobiscum poma, & ea sibi super vnum incisorium reuerentèr obtulimus; & ipse duo accepit, & devno aliquantulum comedit: Et tunc fecit nobis signum quòd recede∣remus, ne equi venientes in aliquo nos offenderent; statimque ab eo discessunus, atque di∣uertimus, & ••uimus ad aliquos Barones per fratres nostri ordinis ad fidem conuersos, qui in exercitu eius erant, & cis obtulimus de pomis praedictis, qui cum maximo gaudio ipsa accipi∣entes ita videbantur laetari, acsi praebuissemus eis familiaritèr magnum munus. Haec predicta frater Guilelmus de Solangna in scriptis redegit, sicùt praedictus frater Odoricus ore tenus ex∣exprimebat. Anno Domini 1330. mense Maij in loco Sancti Antonij de Padua; Nec cura∣uit de latino difficili, & stilo ornato; Sed sicut ipse narrabat ad hoc vt homines facilius intellige∣rent quae dicuntur. Ego frater Odoricus de Foro Iulij de quadam terra quae dicitur Portus Va∣honis de ordine minorum testificor, & testimonium perhibeo reuerendo patri Guidoto mini∣stro prouinciae Sancti Antonij in Marchia Triuisana, cùm ab eo fuerim per obedientiam requi∣situs, quòd haec omnia quae superiùs scripta sunt, aut proprijs oculis ego vidi, aut a fide dignis audi••: Communis etiam loquutio illarum terrarum illa quae nec vidi restatur esse; Multa etiam alia ego dimisissem, nisi illa proprijs oculis conspexissem. Ego autem de die in diem me propo∣no contratas seu terras accedere, in quibus mori, & viuere me dispono, si placuerit Deo meo.
