initiator: Raymond, count of Tripoli
recipient: Church of Saint Mary of the Latins
institution: Saint Mary of the Latins
text: Dec. 25 1102 – Dec. 24 1103. Raymond, comes Tholosanus vel gratia Dei Tripolitanus, makes an eleemosynary grant [including the prayer that his castle be finished]. He gives the recently built church [constructa ecclesia] in Jerusalem of St Mary of the Latins land lying just outside [in suburbio] the new castle of Mont Pèlerin on which to erect a church in honour of St Mary. He had promised this to Petrus Olivarus before he had gone to Tortosa. The land stretches from the church on the site of the hospitale [the hospital of St John of Jerusalem] as far as the bridge and the river. He hands this over to the monk Stephanus, with the rights to everything a church ought legally to have, including a cemetery, a presbytery and the power to receive oblations. He also gives additional land and a mill that adjoins it, together with the field in which the mill is situated. This land near the church is estimated to equal 2 carrucates [quantum possit sufficere duobus paribus boum ad arandum per singula et opportuna tempora]. He also gives a casale beyond the bridge and he approves all that the monks acquire justly. Confirmed by Raimundus, comes Sancti Egidii; Gelvira, comitissa. Witnesses: Richardus Massiliensis; Aichardus Arelatensis; Guillelmus Hugo et uxor ejus; Guillelmus Arvei; Bertrannus Arvei; Ribotus; Raimundus de Cornelio; Pontius de Fos; Guillelmus Petri constabularius; Guillelmus Ariols; Caravellus.
