text: December 11. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the archbishop of Tyre (Tyrensis) and the bishop of Lydda (Lidensis), relating that Patriarch [Jacques Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, papal legate, informed him that a while ago the pope ordered the addressees to take good care of the church of Jerusalem until the patriarch arrived, having the incomes, treasury, and other goods belonging to the church and patriarch preserved rather than alienated, taken away, or dispersed. Thus the pope orders them to present in full the aforesaid incomes, treasury, and goods to the patriarch or to his procurator in his name.

text: December 12. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the same [Patriarch Jacobus (Pantaléon) of Jerusalem, papal legate], responding to his prayers by granting him the faculty of summoning as often as he deems expedient for his services two clerics of his patriarchate for his business and that of the Holy Land, of forcing them to do so, if necessary, with ecclesiastical censure without appeal, of having them receive in full the incomes of their benefices, except for the daily distributions, as if they resided in person in the churches in which they hold them, and of restraining those who contradict by the same ecclesiastical censure, without appeal.

text: December 17. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch O[pizo Fieschi] of Antioch, papal legate, relating that the patriarch claimed in a petition that the late Pope I[nnocentius IV], considering the miserable state of the land of Antioch, had conceded to him the first cathedral church to become vacant in the province of Antioch or in the Kingdom of Cyprus, to retain as long as the Turkoman threat lasted. Although by this concession a prohibition [against filling episcopal vacancies] was done in some churches of said province and kingdom, because however the [present] pope revoked all previous papal letters with such concessions, the patriarch fears for his own concession. Thus the pope was asked on behalf of the patriarch to help him out of the kindness of the Apostolic See, since the Turkoman threat is growing in those parts. The pope therefore agrees to his predecessor’s concession to the patriarch of a vacant cathedral church in those parts, or the next one to become vacant, notwithstanding the revocation.

text: December 18. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the chapter of the church Vicenza (Vicentina ), explaining that when their church was without a pastor, he chose B[artholomeus], former bishop of Limassol (Nimociensis), absolving him of his duties in the church of Limassol (Nimociensis) and transferring him with the plenitude of papal power to the church of Vicenza as the new bishop, because of his positive qualities. He asks, urges, and orders the chapter to accept him as bishop in the spiritual and temporal affairs of the church and to show him the proper obedience and reverence. The pope writes the same letter, mutatis mutandis, to the clergy and people of the city and diocese of Vicenza.

text: December 22. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch Jacobus [Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, papal legate, responding to his requests by granting him the faculty of giving a dispensation to 100 clerics suffering from defect of birth, both of his patriarchate and those coming there from elsewhere on pilgrimage, as long as they are not born of regular clerics or from adultery or incest, if they are of good comportment and life, so that they can be promoted to all orders and obtain an ecclesiastical benefice, even with care of souls.

text: December 23. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch Jacobus [Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, relating that, because the church of Jerusalem is in the hands of the pagans, the Lord permitting, and thus the patriarch frequently stays or travels outside his province, out of reverence for that church and for the merits of the patriarch the pope grants that he can use his pallium in other provinces on the days he would use it within his province.
