text: August 7. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the papal legate Brother Lawrence [of Portugal] of the Friars Minor (Franciscans), relating that through the legate he once wanted to protect the Greeks of the East and defend them against injury by the Latins, to avoid scandal and promote the honour of the Church and the tranquillity of the Greeks, without injury to others. Yet he did not want the legate to occupy himself with all grievances of the Greeks, but only with those that, after careful deliberation, the legate determined could be corrected healthfully for the honour of the Church. Thus the pope orders the legate to have the Latins do fitting satisfaction for the minor and obvious injuries and harassments done to the Greeks, but not to deal with others, which he should relate directly and orally to the pope when the legate is in his presence, so that the pope can decide what is best.

text: August 12. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the master and brothers of the house of the Lepers of St Lazarus of Jerusalem of the Order of St Augustine, relating that their petition claimed that numerous clerical and lay brothers of their house have incurred the sentence of excommunication for violence against their members and against secular clerics, but the hazards of the journey and high expense make traveling to the Apostolic See for absolution burdensome. The pope allows the priests serving the order to absolve the brothers, if they do fitting satisfaction to the victims and they are not guilty of serious crimes, in which case they shall be sent to the Apostolic See. Valid for two years. August 12. Lyons.

text: August 13. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to Dean [Boniface] of Sidon, residing in Acre, and the archdeacons of Nicosia and Acre, relating that Archbishop [Eustorge] of Nicosia excommunicated Canon Giovanni of Città di Castello, Jean de Brie the bailiff of the lord of Beirut (Balian of Ibelin) and the layman Bérard de La Frigoule, all residing in the Kingdom of Cyprus, after they legitimately appealed to the Apostolic See, to the prejudice and serious harm to the lord of Beirut (Balian of Ibelin). The pope orders the addressees to relax the sentence to a caution – once the excommunicates have sworn to obey the Church’s mandates should the sentence be found to have been justly promulgated – to hear anything that might remain of the case, and to decide the case canonically, various obstacles notwithstanding. If all three cannot carry this out, [then two or one can]. August 13. Lyons.

text: August 14. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes), relating that, as the patriarch’s agent Master Filippo of Tripoli proposed before him, since the pope granted the patriarch the power of providing eight of his clerics with prebendal benefices in the cathedral churches of his patriarchate, and, considering the agent’s obedience, labour, honourable character, knowledge of letters and laudable conversation, the patriarch wishes to provide him with a post (personatus), the pope orders the patriarch to provide him with a post (personatus) or other ecclesiastical rank (dignitas) in a church of his patriarchate as he sees fit, notwithstanding that the agent is otherwise beneficed or any papal indulgence to the contrary.

text: September 1. Lyons. Friar H[ugo], cardinal-priest of Santa Sabina, and Friar G[uillelmus], bishop of Tortosa (Anteradensis), write to the prior general and definitors of the chapter general of the Order of the Friars of Carmel, relating that the friar clerics Reynaldus and Petrus of their order came to the Apostolic See on their behalf and humbly asked the pope to deign to declare and correct some dubious things contained in their privilege and rule that was once given them by the late Albertus, patriarch of Jerusalem, and to mitigate mercifully some burdensome things. The pope agreed to their entreaties and committed the case to the cardinal and bishop to make the declaration, correction, and mitigation in his stead as they deemed expedient for the good state of the order and friars. They therefore order the addressees to receive devoutly and firmly observe the rule as corrected, declared, and mitigated by them as they deemed expedient, and to correct their other rules on this basis, which they send back to them via the same Friars [Reynaldus and Petrus] with their seals. The modified text is then inserted, stating as follows: Albertus, patriarch of the church of Jerusalem (Jerosolimitana), greets B. and the other hermits living with him near the spring of Mount Carmel determining the following: (I) They shall have one prior chosen unanimously from among them, or by the greater or sounder part, to whom the others shall promise obedience, observing chastity and giving up property. (II) They can live in deserted places or in places given to them that the prior and brothers deem fitting for their observance. (III) They shall have separate cells assigned by the prior with the consent of the other brothers or the sounder ones. (IV) They shall eat what is given them in a common refectory while listening to a reading from Holy Scripture, where this can be observed conveniently. (V) No brother shall change the place assigned to him or exchange it without permission from the prior. (VI) The prior’s cell shall be near the entrance so he can greet those who arrive and arrange things as he wishes. (VII) All shall stay alone in or next to their cells, meditating day and night on the Lord’s law and praying, unless they are otherwise justly occupied. (VIII) Those who know how to say the canonical hours with the clerics shall do so according to the constitution of the holy Fathers and the Church’s approved custom. Those who do not shall say the Pater noster 25 times at Nocturns, except on Sundays and feast days when it is 50. They shall also say it seven times at Lauds and the other hours, except for Vespers, when they shall say it fifteen times. (IX) No one shall have personal property but all shall be held in common and be distributed to each by the person assigned by the prior, taking into consideration age and individual needs. They may have asses or mules according to their needs and also feed for animals and foul. (X) Insofar as it can be done conveniently, an oratory shall be built amidst the cells in which they shall gather daily in the morning for Mass, where convenient. (XI) On Sundays or other days if needed they shall discuss the care of the order and the salvation of souls and correct with charity any excesses and faults of the brothers. (XII) They shall fast every day except Sunday from the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (15 September) to Easter Sunday, unless illness, bodily weakness, or other just cause dictates otherwise. (XIII) They shall not eat meat except as a remedy for illness or bodily weakness, but when traveling they may eat cooked food and meat, to avoid burdening their hosts, and meat may be eaten at sea. (XIV) They are to guard against the temptations of the flesh and live by the Lord. (XV) They shall do some work to avoid the results of having idle hands. (XVI) They shall remain silent from the recitation of Compline until after Prime the next day, and at other times they shall avoid excessive talk and thus causing offense. (XVII) Brother B. and future priors shall remember to serve the brothers. (XVIII) The brothers shall honour their prior. September 1. Lyons.

text: October 1. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the prior and the brother hermits of Mount Carmel, relating that, since in reply to their entreaties he had Cardinal-Priest H[ugo] of Santa Sabina and Bishop G[uillelmus] of Tortosa (Anteradensis) declare and correct certain dubious things in their rule and even mitigate mercifully certain of its burdensome parts, as is contained in the pertinent letter, the pope responds to their pious desires and confirms and strengthens this declaration, correction, and mitigation, inserting the text verbatim, see RRR 2601 for 1 September 1247.

text: October 1. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the archbishops and bishops whom this letter reaches, relating that the frequent incursions of the pagans forces the prior and hermit brothers of Mount Carmel to leave the dwellings they have in Outremer and transfer to various and remote areas. They are accustomed to being in deserted places far from cities, so that they worship with free minds in quiet and, they assert, divided in their cells, they can come together for the divine office at the bell, and they desire to have a cemetery for burying their bodies. Since their pious religion is worthy of grace and favour, the pope bends to their entreaties and orders the addressees to grant them these things when the hermits come to them for them, as they see fit, without prejudice to alien right.
