text: Before May. [330] On the advice of dominus Eustorgius Nicosiensis archiepiscopus and dominus L. abbas Bellimontis, M. abbatissa and the conventus Sancte Marie Magdalene Acconensis Cisterciensis ordinis record that they have unanimously agreed to elevate their house in Nicosia to an abbey. The first abbess will be elected in the house of the nuns in Acre and will then transfer her rule to Cyprus. Thereafter the election of an abbess will be made by the convent in Nicosia according to the Benedictine Rule as observed by the Cistercians, although it will be monitored by the abbess in Acre, or by the prioress or any other discreet sister sent from Acre. A new abbess in Nicosia will be presented to the archbishop of Nicosia and will profess obedience according to the form adopted by the Cistercian Order and is in use in Acre with respect to the bishop of Acre. The abbey in Nicosia will bury no parishioner of Nicosia without the archbishop’s licence and will receive the oil of the infirm from him in the same way as is done in Acre. The document is sealed by dominus E. Nicosiensis archiepiscopus, by dominus L. abbas Bellimontis and by abbatissa Sancte Marie Magdalene de Accon.

text: Jan. 3. Lateran. The archbishop of Nicosia has personally told the pope that although King Aimery of Cyprus endowed the church of Nicosia with the 2 casalia of Fendias and Ornithia, to be held as Oddo camerarius had held them, a prestia was excluded from the gift because of dispute between the king and the church. The archbishop has asked the pope to help with its restoration. Pope Honorius III orders the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop of Caesarea and Iterus canonicus Antiochenus, who lives in Acre, to investigate and decide on the matter.

The bishop of Famagusta has informed the pope that during the reign of King Aimery of Cyprus the tithes of 3 districts [regiones], Petalas, Constantia and Crotequi, were granted to his church, as is recorded in the privilege of Pope Celestine III.

Pope Honorius III orders the patriarch of Jerusalem, the bishop of Bethlehem and the archdeacon of Acre to investigate and restore the tithes to the archbishop of Famagusta if that is appropriate.

recipient: Archbishop of Nicosia and the bishops of Paphos and Limassol
text: Jan. 5. Lateran. Pope Honorius III writes to the archbishop of Nicosia and the bishops of Paphos and Limassol. Following the visit of Bishop C. of Famagusta [C. Amochostanus episcopus] to Rome to inform the pope of conditions in Cyprus and obtain confirmation of the convention between the Cypriot church and Queen Alice of Cyprus [Oct. 1-31 1220], the pope reports that he has confirmed the agreement. Alice has asked that those Greeks who are not obedient to the Roman church should be allowed to remain in residence. The pope replies that he wishes to favour Greeks who obey the apostolic see and to allow them to retain their customs and rites, but because it would be monstrous and against the constitutions of the general council for a diocese to have several bishops, he has ordered the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea to remove these [Greek] bishops, enjoining Greek abbots, priests and deacons in the kingdom of Cyprus to obey the [Latin] bishop established in their diocese. The queen should assist them. Otherwise over time the kingdom might be lost to the Roman church and even to Latin rule. He adds that he is detaining the bishop of Famagusta on business in Rome until 14 September. The diocese should be cared for in the bishop’s absence.
