text: Oct. 1-31. Tyre. In the house of the Hospital. Wishing to reward those who are helping him defend Tyre and with the advice and consent of magister Monachus Cesariensis archiepiscopus, domnus Leotardus Nazarenus archiepiscopus, domnus Oddo episcopus Sydonie, frater Terri domus milicie Templi magnus preceptor and other Knights Templar, frater Burrellus magnus preceptor Hospitalis and other brother Hospitallers, and the milites and burgenses of Tyre and all the commune civitatis, Corradus, the son of the marquess of Montferrat, makes a sealed grant to the commune and cives of Pisa. If Jaffa and its neighbourhood is recovered by the Christians, he confirms for them all the houses they had before [its loss] on either side of the road leading to the gate of the port and the bath house and ovens that the Pisan Lambertus de Ioppen had; in the territory of Jaffa, Casale Patriarche and the garden that belonged to Gislebertus castellanus; the right of the Pisans and their commune in Jaffa to use weights and measures [statera, et pensae et modia et mensurae] for wine and oil and all other things, which they can use in sales to other persons. Corradus also confirms for the commune of the Pisans in Jaffa and its territory a free curia. All Pisans and those leased houses by them, whether scapuli, burgenses, milites, comiti or of any lay condition whatever, should be judged in the Pisan curia, except for cases involving feoda or assisiae, which should be judged in the curiae of lords [domni]. Otherwise no Pisan shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the royal curia in Jaffa or elsewhere throughout the kingdom. On the other hand, the king can exact dues [talia] on the houses of Pisan burgenses situated outside the Pisan quarter [extra honorem Pisani communis] if he exacts it elsewhere in the city of Jaffa, but he cannot impose any other dues [dricture] because of military or other needs, and the Pisans and those who rent Pisan properties are to be exempt from terciaria and other dues. Corradus concedes to the Pisans the right to have a vicecomes or consul to run their curia in Jaffa, the right to place their own men in the funda and gates of the city of Jaffa to look after Pisans and those who rent properties from them, who are to be free from any attempt by king’s men or those of any baro to tax them on entry and departure in the catena, funda or gates. The Pisans are to be free from charges on shipwreck and from any charge on houses, ovens, baths, casalia, mills and weights and measures [statera, et pensae et modia et mensurae] in Jaffa. Because the Pisans have remained in Tyre and are fighting the Sarraceni in defence of the kingdom they will in future be freed from all servicia for the gifts that have been made to them.
