Amalric, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus, makes a sealed grant to the commune of Pisa, in return for the good service it gave him during the siege of Alexandria. He gives a piece [petia] of land, above the port of Acre and next to the church of St Anne, on which to build a house and a church. In length, the land follows the road for 16 canne [in longitudine secus viam cannas XVI]. In width it stretches towards the port more than 1 canna beyond the rest of the houses of the port [in latitudine autem versus portum plus une canna quam relique domus portus]. The king also concedes to the Pisans the right to have a court [curia], to which all Pisans are answerable, with the exception of the king himself and those who are king’s homines and have permanent mansiones, revenues and immoveable possessions in the kingdom. These are justiciable by the king and his judges. Amalric gives the Pisan court the right to judge in all cases except homicide, killing [mortidatio], treason, theft, rape [raptus] and such misdemeanours [forisfactiones] that incur the judgements of dismemberment or death, which are royal prerogatives.

text: Oct. 11. Jerusalem. Amalric, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus, makes an eleemosynary grant to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, Gibertus venerabilis magister and his successors. He gives Bilbais [Bulbesium] with everything the inhabitants of the city and its territory possess, all its inhabitants and as much of the cultivated and uncultivated land extending towards Syria and the sea that with Bilbais itself will return 100000 old besants [bisantii vetera] a year. He adds a further grant of 50000 old besants a year, to be raised in 10 Egyptian cities: 5000 each from Old Cairo [in Babylone], Thanes, Damietta, the insula Mall., Alexandria, Chus, Suana, Whe, Ahideph and Fun. In each of these cities the Hospital is to have one of the better houses or palatia after the king has made his choice. And if the treasure of the mulanus and those in other cities and ville come into the king’s hands without the use of force, he gives a tithe of the treasure of Cairo [Caharium], other cities and the land. If, on the other hand, force has to be employed, the Hospital will receive a tithe only after the half owing to the king according to the law of war [secundum militares iusticias] has been subtracted, although the magister and brothers will also have their due share of the spoils of war [per militias partes]. In return the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, its magister and brothers, will provide 500 milites and the same number of well armed turcopoli for the expedition. They will muster at Larriz and will report to the marescalcus or the comestabulus. If the troops provided are more or less than those specified, the rewards for the Hospital mentioned above will be adjusted proportionately. In whatever future expedition the brothers of the Hospital display their banner [vexillum] they will enjoy all the spoil, unless the king is himself present in person. This applies to future [expeditions], if [Egypt] is not taken and restored to Christianity.
