text: September 22. Anagni. Pope Alexander IV writes to Master Guillelmus, dean of Acre, concerning the case that was argued between him and Philippus called Pisces (Poisson), priest of Tyre (Tyrensis), over the post of dean of Acre and certain houses that were then vacant through the death of the late Dean Nicolaus of Acre (Acconensis), which case the pope assigned to Cardinal-Priest J[ohennes] of San Lorenzo in Lucina as auditor. Although, as the pope has gathered from the addressee's petition, P[hilippus] was summoned legitimately, because however he stubbornly refused to appear before the cardinal himself or through a worthy procurator within the establish deadline, was awaited for a long time afterwards, and many times, in public and in the papal palace, was requested to appear, the cardinal, with the addressee's agent present, on the advice of experienced men, promulgated a definitive sentence in the addressee's favour over the position of dean and the aforesaid houses, since P[hilippus] was absent through wilful disobedience. He condemned the priest to pay the addressee a certain sum of money for the incomes received and what were able to be received and for legal expenses as sworn by the addressee's procurator, as is more fully contained in the cardinal's letter patent. Responding to the addressee's requests, the pope ratifies, confirms, and strengthens the cardinal's sentence and condemnation, which is inserted verbatim, dated Anagni, 6 September 1256. This letter includes the addressee's suit, filed to the cardinal by his procurator, Stephanus dictus Rigonetus (Étienne Rigonet), which adds the information that Cardinal-Bishop O[do] of Tusculum (Tusculanus), when he was legate in Outremer, had conferred on his legatine authority the vacant post of dean and certain houses that were not attached to it, along with their rights and appurtenances, on the addressee after the death of Dean Nicolaus of Acre (Acconensis), having Guillemus invested and put in bodily possession. G[uillemus] was in peaceful and canonical possession of the post of dean and the houses for a while, but then Philippus seized the post and the houses as he pleased and still held them, to the peril of his soul and harm to Guillelmus, who appealed to the pope as soon as he found out. Stephanus asserted that the amount Philippus should pay Guillelmus came to 100 silver marks, not counting damages, interest, and expenses. Cardinal J[ohannes] condemned Philippus to pay Guillelmus 15 pounds of Provins.

text: October 3. Anagni. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the Hospital. He has granted to the Hospitallers the location of the abbey of Mount Tabor since the abbot and monks could not hope to repair and reoccupy it, not least because they are fearful because the enemies of the Christian faith had fortified it. In response to the order’s request, the pope now copies out the bull of Pope Eugenius IV dated 4 May 1146 outlining the abbey’s possessions and privileges.

text: October 4. Acre. Guido de Basainvilla domorum militiae Templi praeceptor in regno Hierosolimitano, who is in good health, informs the bishop of Orléans of events in the East. He has heard that the Mongols (Tartari) have invaded the sultanate of Konya and have caused immense destruction. Mamluk Egypt and Ayyubid Damascus have made peace on the news that the Mongols are intent on invading Palestine. The Christian settlers have received a report of Mongol plans from the king of Cilician Armenia. Guido has also learned of an earthquake and volcanic eruption in Arabia which destroyed Muhammad’s tomb at Medina, and even had some effects in the region of Baghdad.

text: October 10. Anagni. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the house of the knighthood of the Temple in Acre (Accon), relating that the count of Jaffa (Joppensis) is led by such passion for the business of the Holy Land that, as the pope has understood, for the upkeep of the castle of Jaffa (Joppense) he has spent not only all his movable goods and a good portion of his inheritance, but he is heavily burdened by debts. Thus he cannot maintain it alone without help from elsewhere. Since, therefore, as the pope has understood, while alive the late Patriarch G[erold of Lausanne] of Jerusalem deposited in the house of the addressees a certain sum of money for the aid to the Holy Land that is believed to amount to 16,000 Saracen besants and more, and since the loss of the castle would be very detrimental to the Holy Land and the faithful of those parts, the pope orders the addressees to provide Patriarch [Jacques Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, papal legate, without trouble or delay, up to 1,000 silver marks of that money to be spent in support of the castle as the patriarch sees fit. Otherwise the pope is sending a letter to said patriarch to compel them to do so with ecclesiastical censure, after a warning, appeal removed.
