  Elias of Cortona
Elias thus alienated the zealots in the order, who felt entirely with St. Francis upon the question of poverty, so that at the chapter held in May, 1227, Elias was rejected in spite of his prominence, and Giovanni Parenti, provincial of Spain, was elected second general of the order.
It is said that Elias afterwards wrote a letter to the pope explaining his conduct and asking pardon, and that this letter was found in the tunic of Albert of Pisa after the latter's death.
Whether or not Elias was himself the architect of S. Francesco, the fact remains that if the tomb of the Poverello has become the "cradle of the Renaissance", the "first flower and the fairest of Italian Gothic", and the glory of Assisi, it is to Elias we own this, and it constitutes his best monument.

 Elias (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Due to a certain similarity in style and content, it is generally supposed that “Elias,” like “David,” belonged to the school of Olympiodorus and that he lived and worked perhaps in Alexandria in the second half of the 6th century CE.
Moreover, Elias repeatedly emphasizes the Platonic-Neoplatonic conviction that the purpose of philosophy is the transformation or assimilation of a human being to the godhead, a genuinely Platonic ideal explicitly stated in the Theaetetus, 176A-B).
In that case, the attribution of these commentaries to some “Elias” may well have been motivated by later scribes who sought to justify, by giving a monastic name to their author, the copying of what were in fact pagan philosophical texts.

Elias explained that this thinking had been the product of gambling "addiction." The problem here is that Elias' testimony does not clearly indicate that he understands that actions such as those he was involved in degrade not only the individual lawyer but the Bar itself.
However, Elias testified that at the time [759 P.2d 1025] the children had adequate support from their mother and that a main concern in paying the gambling debts was to insure his family's safety.
Elias' only explanation for this event was that there were officers present who had known him as an attorney and his pride prevented his denial of that fact in their presence.

 Norbert Elias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Elias' work found a larger audience in the 1960s, at first his analysis of the process was misunderstood as an extension of discredited "social Darwinism," the idea of upward "progress" was dismissed by reading it as consecutive history rather than a metaphor for a social process.
