(c.1171). Patriarch Aimery of Antioch writes to Hugo Etherianus, thanking him for his book on the Procession of the Holy Spirit, written in Greek and Latin. He stresses the value of the work in his defence of Latin doctrine against the Greeks, but begs for books on three other subjects, because he needs the arguments they will provide: the treatise of St John Chrysostom on the epistles of St Paul; chronicles covering the period from the division of the Roman Empire to the present day; and the Council of Nicaea. He promises to pay the expenses of copyists. He sends a silver cup [cuppa] as a present. He would have sent more, but has no time as his messengers are about to depart.
