Pope Alexander III follows his predecessors Popes Honorius II, Innocent II, Celestine II, Lucius II and Eugenius III in taking Petrus prior and the canons of the Holy Sepulchre under protection. He renews their privileges and confirms their endowments, with special reference to Patriarch Amalric’s privilege of Dec. 25 1168 - Dec. 25 1169 and with some additions. He specifies: half of all oblations to the Holy Sepulchre, but two thirds of the gifts for lights, one third being for the lights themselves, one third being for the canons’ use [servitium] and one third going to the patriarch; oblations to the relic of the True Cross, which is in the canons’ custody, except on Good Friday or when the patriarch has to carry the relic on a military campaign; in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the high altar in the canons’ choir, the Prison of Christ and its altar, the altars of St Peter and Stephen and [at the site of] the Finding of the Cross, the altar at the head of the Tomb of Christ which is the parochial altar, together with oblations and offerings to them, the cathedra which is behind the high altar and all oblations made whenever the patriarch celebrates Mass at any of these altars, and all oblations to the Compass, which is in the middle of the canons’ choir; the platea between the door of the church and the columns and the other platea situated between the columns and the Hospital of St John; the houses, stationes, lands and whatever else has been or will be acquired in the patriarchal and Holy Sepulchre quarter; houses, stationes and lands within and without Jerusalem; all ovens in Jerusalem, except for 1 belonging to the Hospital of St John and 1 belonging to St Mary of the Latins, with special reference to the oven the patriarch himself surrendered, following evidence provided by dominus Petrus Tyrensis archiepiscopus; the church and cemetery outside David Gate, next to the road to Bethlehem; half of that possession that King Baldwin I made over in exchange for the bishopric of Bethlehem; all tithes raised in the city of Jerusalem and its diocese, except for those of the funda, given by Patriarch Arnulf; in Nablus the land given by King Amalric in novo burgo, and the church, with a cemetery, which the canons had begun to build with Patriarch Amalric’s permission; whatever other possessions owned by the canons in Nablus; the 21 casalia that Duke Godfrey gave; the villae built by the canons for Latins, with churches, the administration of justice and parochial rights, such as Magna Mahomaria, Parva Mahomaria and Bethsuri; Thecue and the church at Quarantene; Geladia and the land the canons bought from Johannes Gomannus; all the casalia the canons bought from Hugo de Hybelino; the church of St Peter in Jaffa with the tithes throughout the county of Jaffa, granted by the king, religious communities and all Christians; the possessions in Ascalon and its district, in the lordship of Assur, at Caesarea and throughout its archbishopric; castrum Feniculi; a house next to Haifa; Iebul and Lecara; all possessions in the archbishopric of Nazareth, the bishopric of Acre, the archbishopric of Tyre and throughout the patriarchate and kingdom of Jerusalem; all possessions at Mont Pèlerin and throughout the diocese of Tripoli, in Antioch and throughout the patriarchate and principality of Antioch.

text: Oct. 20 1170 or 1171. Tusculum. Pope Alexander III writes to the archbishop of Nazareth and the bishops of Bethlehem, Acre and Lydda. After praising the Cluniac congregation, he describes how Theobaldus, the prior of St-Arnoul-de-Crépy-en-Valois, proposed to King Amalric the establishment of a Cluniac house in his kingdom. King Amalric agreed to the request. The pope wishes the abbey of Cluny to be given the destitute monasterium of Palmareia, irrespective of whether it is subject to papal provision or to the authority of the bishop of Tiberias.

text: Before Dec. 8 1170 or 1171. Letters from the archdiocese of Nazareth have reached Pope Alexander III, who writes to all the faithful in the kingdom of France. The pope describes the miserable state of the Latin East, ravaged by earthquakes and by invasion by the enemies of Christ. He draws special attention to the occupation by them of a great and well populated casale belonging to the church of Nazareth, the captivity of clergy and other inhabitants, and the resulting poverty of the canons. Without assistance they will not be able to fulfil their duties in their church. He asks that the canons and their representatives [nuntii] be received well and given assistance.

881 year: 1172

institution: Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem
text: Jun. 20. Tusculum. Pope Alexander III writes to O. praeceptor and the brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. He describes how he was visited by B. prior, W., Garnerius and certain brothers, as well as by E. archidiaconus Iherosolimitanus and certain other brothers, with letters from Patriarch Amalric of Jerusalem, King Amalric and other persons. These letters requested the restoration of G. to the magisterium of the Order. The prior and brothers told the pope how G. had left for a cave and resigned his office; how he had resumed the magisterium when persuaded to do so by the patriarch and other religious men; how he had spurned advice and resigned again, surrendering privately the insignia [belt, purse and seal] of a magister; and how, when the chapter agreed to receive as magister the man he nominated, he and 12 brothers had elected a brother called Castus to be magister, the election of whom the pope had confirmed. Castus has died. The pope orders the brothers to elect another suitable and honest man, who is neither too old or too young. Considering the damage and debts incurred during G.’s rule, Pope Alexander turns down the requests of the patriarch and the king, and the arguments of the archdeacon and the brothers who came with him. He confirms G.’s resignation, imposing perpetual silence on this issue. He adds that whoever becomes magister must promise to hold and keep the Order’s ancient and reasonable customs, following in the footsteps of Giraldus and R., once magistri. He must not treat major matters on the Order’s behalf or receive and fortify castles on the frontier with the Turci without the common counsel of the chapter or the greater or wiser part of it. He must not bind any brother by private oath or faith except in common chapter and for a manifest and reasonable cause. And he must not presume to make any pact with any person involving faith or an oath without the assent of chapter or the greater and wiser part of it.

Confirmation/renewal of grants
887 year: 1173
initiator: Pope Alexander III
recipient: Saint Mary of the Latins
institution: Saint Mary of the Latins
text: Mar. 8. Segni. Pope Alexander III confirms the privileges of St Mary of the Latins on nearly the same terms as those already granted on 30 Apr. 1158 by Pope Adrian IV. Alexander confirms for Ricardus, abbot of St Mary of the Latins in Jerusalem, and his brothers papal protection and the grants of property and privilege made to the abbey. They are: in and around the city of Jerusalem, stationes next to the abbey; an oven; a palatium next to the Gate of St Stephen; houses in the district [plaga] to the south beyond that palatium; houses over [supra] the city wall next to the palatium, stretching as far as the second tower on the walls; on the other side of the gate the church of Stephen next to the road that runs from Jerusalem to Nablus; a hospitale next to the same road; a garden between the church of St Stephen and Jerusalem; gardens and vineyards in the territory of Jerusalem, together with their tithes; the casale of Belfacir with its vineyards, lands and tithe; half of the casale of Sanctus Euchimius close to Bethlehem, with its lands and tithe; a casale in the territory of Blancegarda, the gift of which was confirmed in a charter from comes Amarricus; 6 carrucate terre in Lidia; houses, gardens and the church of St Mary of the Latins [ecclesia Latina] in Jaffa with houses, a garden and 3 carrucate terre and their tithes; the turris Latine in the territory of Caesarea; a casale in the same territory that had belonged to Eustachius; land in Cacho; lands and possessions confirmed in charters from the lords of Caesarea; 100 besants received annually in Nablus; in Acre the church of St Mary, 3 gardens, 2 carrucate terre with their tithes, and houses given to St Mary of the Latins by Oddobrandus Pinch; a church in Beirut with its gardens, land and tithes; a church in Gibeletum with a garden; the church of St Mary of the Latins [ecclesia Latina] on Mont Pèlerin with a garden, lands, vineyards and tithes; a field [campus] in the city of Tripoli and a macera; the parochial church of St Mary of the Latins [ecclesia Latina parochiale] in Latakia, together with the church of St Nicholas, a half of the theatre [theatrum] and the garden within it; the 2 casalia of Scotieth and Iouam in the territory of Antioch with their lands and tithes, and with mills next to them; the church of St Mary of the Latins [Latina] in Antioch with a garden and its tithes; a church dedicated to St John in Scie, together with a garden, land and tithes; a casale called Farias with its tithes; a casale called Valcorrentin; 10 listra of fish taken from a piscaria in the countryside; 40 solidi taken each month in the Porta Emmae; 2 casalia [in the territory of] Sidon; 4 carrucate terre and houses in the castellum of Arabia; 6 carrucate terre and houses in Gerain; together with European properties in Sicily and Calabria. Stressing that the abbey is Benedictine, the pope grants the right of exemption from excommunication. No tithes are to be owed on harvests produced by the monks’ own labour or on oblations or revenues granted to the community. Saving parochial rights, the cemeteries attached to the abbey and its dependent churches are to be available to those who wish burial, provided they are not excommunicates. The abbot and community can admit clergy and laity as confratres and can bury them. The abbot’s election will be according to the Benedictine Rule. The blessing of an abbot is to be the prerogative of the patriarch of Jerusalem if the elect finds travelling to Rome for consecration difficult.
