 One of the founders of Franciscan theology, Alexander of Hales, reported Rufinus’s distinction and a similar distinction by Hugh of St Victor (Alexander of Hales [c. 1240] 1948: vol. 4, 348, 351–2) but also suggested another way of resolving the inconsistency in Isidore’s list, based on Augustine’s explanation of how the same God can be the author of the Old Law and of the New: namely, that the same principles may require different particular rules for different  circumstances.[34]  According to Alexander, Isidore’s list is not inconsistent after all, since natural law prescribes community for the state of innocence and respect for property for the fallen  state.[35]  The leading Franciscan theologian of the next generation, Bonaventure, adopted a similar  position.[36]
