text: May 24 – Dec. 24. In the absence of Patriarch Fulcher of Jerusalem, who had been on a journey to Rome, Aimericus, the prior of the Mount of Olives and his canons had prevented the canons of the Holy Sepulchre from holding their customary stational service at the church of the Mount of Olives during the Ascension procession, on the grounds that they could only use the church when the patriarch was present, since it had equal status with the Holy Sepulchre. On his return, the canons of the Holy Sepulchre brought a complaint against the canons of the Mount of Olives to a synod, at which were present Patriarch Fulcher himself and P[etrus] archiepiscopus Tyrensis, B[alduinus] archiepiscopus Cesariensis, L[etardus] archiepiscopus Nazarenusi, R[adulfus] episcopus Bethleemitę, C[onstantinus] episcopus Liddensis, R[ainerius] episcopus Sebastensis, F[redericus] episcopus Achonensis, A[rbertus] episcopus Tyberiadensis, A[dam] episcopus Paneadensis, A[malricus] episcopus Sydoniensis, M[ainardus] episcopus Berithensis, G[aufridus] abbas Templi Domini, P. abbas Sanctę Marię Josaphat, A[milius] abbas Sanctę Marię Latinę, R. abbas Sancti Samuhelis, H[erbertus] abbas Sancti Abacuc, E[ngerannus] prior Montis Syon, H[ugo] prior Templi Domini, R[adulfus] prior Sebasteni. The synod found for the Holy Sepulchre and judged that the canons of the Mount of Olives should come barefooted to the Holy Sepulchre. So the prior [Aimericus] with his canons - Guido, Bonicius, Johannes Berruier, Durandus, Odo and Zacharias – accompanied as an act of humility and devotion by P[etrus] archiepiscopus Tyrensis, A[dam] episcopus Paneadensis and M[ainardus] episcopus Berithensis, came to make satisfaction. It was recorded by all present, together with the patriarch, that since the expulsion of the Muslims [Sarraceni] the Holy Sepulchre had the right to process to any church inside or outside Jerusalem on the following feasts: the Purification to the Templum Domini, the Ascension to the Mount of Olives, Pentecost to Mount Sion and the Assumption to St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat. In these churches the convent of the Holy Sepulchre had primacy and could hold stational services. If the patriarch was absent, the prior of the Holy Sepulchre would sing Mass and preach to the people.May 24 – Dec. 24.

Balduinus renounces claims he had unjustly made against the Holy Sepulchre over the inheritance of his brother Robertus Porcarius. He wills to the Holy Sepulchre that after his death the canons should have the quartus et decima of the vineyard, which is on the land [he has inherited from] R. Porcarius, consisting of 6 jugera, and the terraticum et decima of his vineyard next to Gabaon, although he can give or sell the vineyard to whomsoever he pleases. 1155 - 1159.

text: 1158 - 1159. The canons of the Holy Sepulchre come to an agreement with Robertus de Retesta, who had challenged the boundary of the land of Birra, which is now called Mahumeria and is contiguous to his casale called Salome. The prior and canons call witnesses who authenticate the boundary drawn for King Baldwin I when he gave that land to them. They allow Robertus to employ the burgenses of Birra to cultivate his lands, which produce grain, oil, vegetables, and have vines and trees. The tithes owed by the burgenses - otherwise owed to the canons - will be reserved to Robertus with respect to his lands, and he will pay these tithes to his lords. The burgenses will have no authority to infringe the rights of Robertus.
