text: Jan. 1-31. Genoa. Ansaldus Mallon, Willelmus de Nigro, Lanfranc Piper and Caffaro, the consuls of Genoa, had summoned the sons of Nicolas Embriacus on the grounds that neither Willelmus Embriacus nor his heirs had observed the terms of an agreement over the revenues of Gibellum, Sollinum, Latakia and Antioch for 20 years.

text: 1151 [64]. Latakia. In the palatium. Constance, Dei gracia Antiochenorum principissa, records that Adelicia Laodicie principissa, who had unjustly seized the land of the sons of Radulfus Boerius and had granted it to Guarnerius de Burgo, had recognized her fault in the presence of Geraldus Laodicensis episcopus and other good men and had ruled that the land should be returned to the sons of Radulfus. The land had been inherited in the meantime by Martinus Gelnus, who now restored it to the sons of Radulfus in the presence of Constance and the barones of Latakia. The sons of Radulfus have sold the land to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, represented by frater Willelmus, who presides over the commandery [domus] of the Hospital in the principality of Antioch [in Antiochenis finibus]. Constance herself concedes whatever rights she has on the land and adds 2 carrucatae terrae in the Guastina Putei adjoining it. Witnesses: G.

institution: Holy Sepulchre
additional institution: Mount of Olives
text: May 24 – Dec. 24. In the absence of Patriarch Fulcher of Jerusalem, who had been on a journey to Rome, Aimericus, the prior of the Mount of Olives and his canons had prevented the canons of the Holy Sepulchre from holding their customary stational service at the church of the Mount of Olives during the Ascension procession, on the grounds that they could only use the church when the patriarch was present, since it had equal status with the Holy Sepulchre. On his return, the canons of the Holy Sepulchre brought a complaint against the canons of the Mount of Olives to a synod, at which were present Patriarch Fulcher himself and P[etrus] archiepiscopus Tyrensis, B[alduinus] archiepiscopus Cesariensis, L[etardus] archiepiscopus Nazarenusi, R[adulfus] episcopus Bethleemitę, C[onstantinus] episcopus Liddensis, R[ainerius] episcopus Sebastensis, F[redericus] episcopus Achonensis, A[rbertus] episcopus Tyberiadensis, A[dam] episcopus Paneadensis, A[malricus] episcopus Sydoniensis, M[ainardus] episcopus Berithensis, G[aufridus] abbas Templi Domini, P. abbas Sanctę Marię Josaphat, A[milius] abbas Sanctę Marię Latinę, R. abbas Sancti Samuhelis, H[erbertus] abbas Sancti Abacuc, E[ngerannus] prior Montis Syon, H[ugo] prior Templi Domini, R[adulfus] prior Sebasteni. The synod found for the Holy Sepulchre and judged that the canons of the Mount of Olives should come barefooted to the Holy Sepulchre. So the prior [Aimericus] with his canons - Guido, Bonicius, Johannes Berruier, Durandus, Odo and Zacharias – accompanied as an act of humility and devotion by P[etrus] archiepiscopus Tyrensis, A[dam] episcopus Paneadensis and M[ainardus] episcopus Berithensis, came to make satisfaction. It was recorded by all present, together with the patriarch, that since the expulsion of the Muslims [Sarraceni] the Holy Sepulchre had the right to process to any church inside or outside Jerusalem on the following feasts: the Purification to the Templum Domini, the Ascension to the Mount of Olives, Pentecost to Mount Sion and the Assumption to St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat. In these churches the convent of the Holy Sepulchre had primacy and could hold stational services. If the patriarch was absent, the prior of the Holy Sepulchre would sing Mass and preach to the people.

text: 1158 - 1159. The canons of the Holy Sepulchre come to an agreement with Robertus de Retesta, who had challenged the boundary of the land of Birra, which is now called Mahumeria and is contiguous to his casale called Salome.

They allow Robertus to employ the burgenses of Birra to cultivate his lands, which produce grain, oil, vegetables, and have vines and trees. The tithes owed by the burgenses - otherwise owed to the canons - will be reserved to Robertus with respect to his lands, and he will pay these tithes to his lords. The burgenses will have no authority to infringe the rights of Robertus.
