text: . April 1. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to all faithful Christians living in Syria, relating that the noble man John of Ibelin count of Jaffa and lord of Ramla informed him via petition that he is making costly repairs to the port of Jaffa, which is useful and necessary for the aid of the Holy Land. Since they have a vested interest in spreading good deeds before their appearance in the divine tribunal (Romans, 14:10), the pope grants an indulgence of forty days to addressees who have confessed and help finance the repairs with their alms. Valid until the work is complete.

If the properties are occupied by the Saracens, Almarricus will not have find the shortfall from his other goods, but, if the income from these estates is insufficient, he will. The payments are to be made via the treasurer of the Dominicans in Acre. Almarricus is to get the king of Cyprus, lord of Jerusalem, to confirm this by letters patent. The Order is to surrender all the documentation on the completion of payment, with a penalty of 8,000 besants if they fail to do so payable on their casalia of Cafariasif and Saphet in the plain of Acre. This is to be sworn in the presence of the patriarch of Jerusalem whose jurisdiction in the event of a dispute is recognized.

text: . June 18. Nicosia. Archbishop Hugo (Ugo da Fagiano) of Nicosia made public the following two regulations in a council in the church of Nicosia, and afterwards they were presented to the people. First, the archbishop relates that layfolk often enter the church of Nicosia during divine offices or some pastoral office and shout loudly and harm the prelate, priests, other clerics, the place, and the worship. Henceforth anyone, cleric or lay, entering that church or any other church of the city or diocese where prayers should be recited and the divine offices celebrated in peace, if they cause such harm or shout, object, or disturb loudly, they and those who help, give aid to, advise, or support them shall be excommunicated ipso facto, their sentence to be proclaimed publicly until they make amends, leaving to the judges any punishment according to civil laws. Second, the archbishop relates that some of the regular clergy of the city of Nicosia – he hopes not all – admit to the divine offices parishioners of the church of Nicosia, the sole parish church of the Latins in the city. Canon law prohibits them from accepting alien parishioners on Sundays and feast days and from celebrating public masses in their cloisters, and the archbishop forbids this from happening in the future.

text: August 13. Assisi. Pope Innocent IV writes to Philippe of Ibelin, son of the noble man Baldwin of Ibelin, and to Simonette, the younger daughter of the late constable of Jerusalem, Eudes of Montbéliard, both citizens of Nicosia, relating that their petition to him asserted that they wish to marry to preserve for their successors the old friendship between their forefathers with a continued alliance of love and to avoid the discord that often gives rise to more serious dangers. The pope grants a dispensation for their marriage, despite their being related in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity.
