Mindful of the restricted nature of the space occupied in Acre by the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and the present location of its offices outside religious enclosure, Guy, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex VIIIus, makes a sealed eleemosynary grant, to benefit especially the soul of the Lady Queen Sibylla and all his royal predecessors. He gives frater Guarnerius domus Hospitalis Ierusalem magister, his brothers and the sick poor the street and road [strata et via] that stretch from the Gate of St John to the Gate of Mary and below the volta over which rises the stair of the tower, so that the Order can expand its courtyard [platea curie]. [240] Guy orders that the street [strata] before the house of Harquetus be diverted around the bath house as far as another street [strata] which reaches the bath house.

comments: [240] This interpretation of the incomprehensible sentence ‘que protenditur a porta sancti Iohannis ad parvum mare iuxta turrim Hospitalis et subtus volta scale ipsius turris, ut eam qu... porta sancti Iohannis usque ad introitum prefate volte a parte maris … plateam curiae vestre amplietis”, sigillo donat et mandat, ut “strata illa ante domum … ad balnea vertat usque in aliam stratam, quae ante balnea porrigitur’ is provided by Riley-Smith, ‘Guy of Lusignan’, pp. 112-13, although it is opposed by Mayer, UKJ 2:829-30.

text: Feb. 10. Acre. Guy, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex octavus, makes a sealed eleemosynary grant, to benefit especally the soul of his late wife, the Lady Queen Sibylla. He gives frater Curaudus hospitalis Alemannorum preceptor and the brothers and sick of [the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans] the land in Acre on which their house and hospital [hospitale] is established. Femianus, his wife Dulcis and their son Iohannes, who claimed the land, renounced it in the presence of Guy and his curia, in exchange for another property. The Hospital gives Guy 500 besants and a horse, raised from its own alms funds. The land borders on the land of the brothers of St Thomas. It is situated between 2 stairs leading to a gate tower [turris perforata], as far as a strata publica that extends to the Gate of St Nicholas and belongs to the hospitale Alemmanorum, and then as far as a platea and curia and from the platea back to the city wall and along it as far as the stairs. The brothers may not build anything against the wall that might prevent men climbing the stairs in defence of the city.
