text: Jun 19. Lateran. At the request of the abbot and monks of the abbey of St Mary of the Latins in Jerusalem, which was a hospice serving Latins [Latini], Italians and Lombards when Jerusalem was occupied by the Muslims [Sarracenorum Turcorumque temporibus], Pope Paschal II takes them under papal protection. He confirms their Cassinese Benedictine customs and their use of Roman psalmody. He forbids anyone to enter the abbey without the monks’ licence, other than the patriarch of Jerusalem. The abbot’s election will be according to the Benedictine Rule and no Italian is to be forced on the community. The ordination of an abbot is to be the prerogative of the patriarch of Jerusalem if the elect finds travelling to Rome for consecration difficult. No tithes are to be owed on harvests produced by the monks’ own labour or on oblations or revenues granted to the community. The abbey’s cemetery, and the cemeteries attached to its dependent churches, are to be available to those who wish burial, provided they are not excommunicates. Paschal confirms the abbey in its churches and possessions. The abbots may enjoy privileges granted by them by the churches of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Papal protection of St Mary has been recognized by the patriarch of Jerusalem.Jun 19. Lateran.

It will pay no tithes on the products of its own labour. It is free of episcopal procurations in Jerusalem. It can enjoy revenues from infidel peasants [rustici infideles]. Anyone can be buried in its cemetery. It can receive alms on behalf of those who die. It can enjoy parochial rights in its parishes. It can have relations with excommunicates.
