text: June 4. Cairo. Sultan [as-Ṣāliḥ Najm ad-Dīn Ayyūb] writes to Pope [Innocent IV], addressing him as noble, great, spiritual, kind, holy, the thirteenth apostle, the universal voice of the Christians, supporter of those who worship the cross, the judge of the Christian people, the leader of the sons of baptism, and highest pontiff of the Christians – let God strengthen him and grant him happiness – and referring to himself as the most powerful sultan, ruler over the necks of the nations, holding the two powers of the sword and the pen, possessing the two pre-eminences of doctrine and judgment, the king of two seas, dominator of the South and North, king of Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Media, Ydumea, and Ophir, King Salech Belfet Ayob, son of Sultan Heimel Helmevaffar Mehamed son of Sultan King Hadel Bobecre son of Ayob, whose kingdom God loves. The sultan relates that he was presented the pope's letter, which he read carefully and understood the chapters that were inserted in them and was pleased by their content. The sultan had the nuncio whom the pope sent to him received with honour, love, devotion, and reverence and he summoned him to his presence, hearing his words and showing the nuncio the sultan's faith in Christ, may salvation be upon him. Concerning this Christ the sultan knows more than the pope and praises him more than the pope does. Concerning the pope's desire for tranquillity and quiet and for calling the peoples to peace, this the sultan also desires and always has. But the pope – let God strengthen him – knows that between the sultan and the emperor there has long been friendship, mutual love, and perfect concord since the time of the sultan's father, and the pope knows his own relationship with the emperor. Thus the sultan cannot settle with the Christians without first having the emperor's advice and consent on these matters. The sultan has written to his nuncio, who is at the emperor's court, concerning the matters that the pope's nuncio conveyed, announcing to him the chapters and proposals of the pope's nuncio. The sultan's nuncio will come to the pope's presence and speak with him and then inform the sultan. Afterwards, the sultan will respond accordingly, and he will not diverge from what seems useful for everyone, so he can have merit with God. June 4. Cairo.

text: June 8. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the prior and brothers of the desert of Mount Carmel, relating that, in support of their calling, following the example of Pope Gregory [IX], he forbids them to receive in any way or to presume to have property or possessions or houses or other incomes from now on, except for male asses and some feed for animals or foul. The pope leaves them to their peace and quiet, so that no one shall presume to install a prior in the desert without the assent of the brothers or of the greater and sounder part. For this he confirms and orders to be observed perpetually the rule that Pope Honorius [III] approved and handed to them to observe in remission of sins. June 8. Lyons.

text: August 5. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the master and brothers of the Teutonic Order of Jerusalem, relating that, to avoid scandal, he gave permission to brother Gerhard von Malberg (Malberc), the former master of the Teutonic Knights, to transfer to another order, and the new master gave him 400 silver marks to pay his debts and provide for his needs. In the end, however, the former master wishes to stay in the order and the new master received him kindly, with the former master promising in the pope’s and cardinals’ presence to obey just as other brothers. Believing the former master to be contrite and humbled, the new master, in the presence of the cardinal-priest of Santa Sabina H[ugues of Saint-Cher], granted the former master the bailiwick of Flanders of France and certain other goods of the Order, with the former master asserting that the grant would be null if he did not fulfil his promises and that he wished to live with his conventual brothers. But because the former master neglected to fulfil his promises, creating quite a scandal, which can only be quieted, as is claimed, if the provision is cancelled and the former master lives as a simple brother, especially since the arrangement was against custom. The pope grants the addressees that they can cancel the arrangement as they see fit and subject the former master to their ordinary statutes and procedures if he resists. August 5. Lyons.

text: August 8. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes) and the bishop of Sidon, relating that, since the noble man Jean of Avesnes asked the pope to declare him legitimate, the noble man Guillaume of Dampierre, who is affected by the matter, has appeared before the pope, intends to produce some witnesses living in those parts (Outremer) to testify against Jean, and asked the pope to have these witnesses admitted in those parts. The pope orders the addressees to admit within nine months the worthy witnesses to be produced by Guillaume or the agent that he sends there for this purpose, concerning the articles that [the cardinal-bishop] of Porto [Ottone da Tonengo] and the cardinal-deacon of S. Cosmas and S. Damian. Gil [Torres] are sending to the addressees enclosed with their seals. Diligently examining the witnesses, the addressees are to send their depositions to the pope enclosed with their seals. If both of them cannot carry this out, then one can do so. August 8. Lyons.
