text: May 5. Acre. Garinus, Michael and Petrus, monks of the former church of Mount Tabor write to Pope Alexander IV. They are pleased to accept that the pope has transferred the abbey and its properties to the Hospitallers, drawing attention to the past Muslim occupation of Mount Tabor itself and its possessions. They are able to report that the Hospitallers have now paid off the debts that the monastic community had contracted, that they have occupied Mount Tabor with the result that the divine office can resume and that they are consolidating their control of the monastic lands. As the monks have no seals of their own, they have asked Terricus, abbot of Mount Zion, and John abbot of S. Samuel of the Premonstratensian order to affix their seals.

text: May 7. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Bishop Paulus of Paphos (Paphensis), relating that the bishop’s petition claimed that, while eight is the number of canons established in the church of Paphos, for some time some of the canons of that church were refusing to reside there personally, although they were receiving the entire incomes of their prebends in that church. Since his church was thereby defrauded and still is today when said canons are absent from the church, the bishop asked the pope to provide a solution. The pope concedes to the bishop that, after he warns the canons diligently, if within a year after the warning they do not return to said church to serve in person as they are obliged, he is no longer obliged – by papal letters obtained or to be obtained – to pay them the fruits of their prebends, nor can the bishop be forced to do so, unless the papal letters make explicit mention of this letter.

text: May 7. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Bishop Paulus of Paphos (Paphensis), conceding him permission to install as canons in his church two suitable priests who are prepared to reside there in person and to provide them with prebends if any are vacant at present, or as soon as they become vacant, notwithstanding the statute about a fixed number of canons strengthened by oath or by confirmation of the Apostolic See, or any papal indulgence preventing this.

text: May 17. Lateran. Alexander writes to the master and brothers of the Hospital of Jerusalem, relating that he was read their petition that claimed that at one time the pope granted them the monastery of Mt Tabor with all the lands, possessions, houses, people, rights, liberties, immunities, and appurtenances belonging to the monastery in any way, and afterwards they came into possession of the above on papal authority. The pope responds to their request by granting that no papal letters, indulgences, or graces given to anyone can generate prejudice for the above or any other papal grant made to them.

text: July 12. Anagni. Pope Alexander IV writes to the prior of St Michael, the cantor of Tripoli (Tripolitanus), and the canon Master Johannes of Tripoli (Tripolitanus), relating that he has heard that Bishop [William IV] and the chapter of Tortosa (Anteradenses), before Archdeacon Ricardus of Tortosa (Anteradensis), the chaplain of Cardinal-Priest J[ohannes of Toledo] of San Lorenzo in Lucina, received his canonry or archdeaconate of Tortosa (Anteradensis), established the number of twelve canons in that church, including the existing ones, of which there were then seven, in such a way that, with the canons or persons who had thitherto been received enjoying the full incomes of their prebends as long as they lived, in the end the casalia, lands, possessions, and other goods that constituted these prebends, after the death of those persons and canons, would successively be applied to the uses of the episcopal manse, and future canons and persons would each receive annually a certain amount in the name of the prebend from the bishop and his successors. The bishop also promulgated a sentence of excommunication against transgressors of this statute on his ordinary authority. When the late Archdeacon Philippus of Tortosa (Anteradensis) died, the aforesaid bishop unduly occupied the tithes, lands, possessions, and other goods of the archdeaconate of Tortosa (Anteradensis) by virtue of that statute, strengthened by oath, on account of which the incomes of the archdeaconate have been greatly reduced. Because the pope wishes to support churches and ecclesiastical dignities that have been cut down, he orders the addressees, if it is so (the abbreviated clauses at the end suggest that they are to investigate), to recall all tithes, lands, possessions, and other aforesaid things that belonged to the archdeaconate to the right and property of the same archdeaconate, having the same archdeacon shown due satisfaction from the revenues received from them in the meantime, various obstacles notwithstanding, including the fact that the statute was confirmed by the late Patriarch [Alberto Roberti] of Antioch when he was papal legate in those parts.
