recipient: O. praeceptor and the brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem
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. Jun. 20. Tusculum.

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. Mar. 8. Segni.
