text: January 15. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, relating that they have to go to great expense for the defense of the Holy Land and do not have sufficient funds from their own house, so he agrees to their request by conferring on them the monastery of St Lazarus de Bethania of the Order of St Benedict in the diocese of Jerusalem – which was almost destroyed by the pagan persecution of the enemies of the Christian name who are said to occupy it – along with all its possessions, rights, liberties, immunities, and appurtenances, in such a way that the addressees provide the abbess and nuns of the monastery who are now there with all their necessities as long as they live, and after their death or departure they are to substitute as many religious women of the addressee's order as are known to be at present of the other religion in that monastery, and to arrange that they remain there perpetually under the correction and governance of the rule of the Hospital, the rights of the patriarch of Jerusalem, the diocesan of the place, and of other pontiffs in whose dioceses the goods of the monastery exist.

text: January 20. Lateran. Pope Alexander VI writes to the master and brothers of the knighthood of the Temple of Jerusalem, responding to their devout requests by granting that are not held at all nor can they be forced to pay any taxes, collections, subsidies, or sums of money or exactions however they are called for any reason because of their churches, houses, or any other possessions, by any papal or legatine letter obtained or to be obtained without special papal mandate making full and express mention of this indulgence, and the pope declares null and void any sentences of excommunication or interdict promulgated against them contrary to this indulgence.

text: January 23. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the knighthood of the Temple, relating that the late Pope I[nnocent IV] once granted that they could receive up to 10,000 silver marks outside the Kingdom of Germany from money spent in redemption of crusading vows in support of the Holy Land; from money gained via usury, robbery, or other evil ways that the faithful order to be restored in their last will or are ready to do so while they are living, even if they are healthy, as long as those to whom the money must be restored cannot be found at all; and from testaments of the faithful with bequests to the Holy Land without expressing specific places or persons, assigning them certain executors for this. Afterwards, however, before they received this sum from the above, as is asserted, the present pope granted that Patriarch J[acobus] of Jerusalem could receive the money from the redemptions and bequests in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Wishing to avoid any trouble between the Templars and the patriarch on account of this, the pope responds to the patriarch's prayers by granting that the Templars can receive the above in the Kingdom of Germany and everywhere else except the Kingdom of Jerusalem as granted by the pope's predecessor until they reach the abovementioned sum.

text: January 27. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the knighthood of the Temple of Jerusalem, answering their prayers by granting that they can receive money from the redemption of crusading vows from their men who have taken the cross (ab hominibus vestris crucesignatis) but who because of age or illness or other just causes cannot carry out personally the vow that they took in support of the Holy Land, once they have been absolved from this vow by those to whom the pope is committing their absolution and commutation.

text: January 29. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch Jacobus [Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, relating that the patriarch proposed to him in his presence that for carrying out the business of the church of Jerusalem, for which reason he came to the Apostolic See, he has gone to great expense. Lest his business remain incomplete because of lack of funds, responding to his requests, the pope grants that he can borrow from Brother Raibardus, marshal of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, up to the sum of 150 ounces of gold at the weight of the Kingdom [of Jerusalem] in the name of the church of Jerusalem and he can oblige himself, his successors, and his church and its goods for this purpose, such that he and his successors are held to pay this money plus damages, interest, and expenses if he does not pay the money within the established deadline.

text: February 3. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the prior general and friars of the Order of Hermits of Mount Carmel, relating that at their request the late Pope I[nnocentius IV] had certain doubts in their rule clarified and corrected and certain burdens mitigated by Cardinal-Priest H[ugo de Saint-Cher] of Santa Sabina and Bishop G[uillelmus] of Tortosa (Anteradensis), as is more fully contained in the letter for this. Answering their prayers, following his predecessor's example, the pope confirms and strengthens these changes, inserting the text of Innocent’s letter verbatim dated Lyon 1 October 1248, which contains the modified rule dated 28 August 1248.
