year: 1218
initiator: Pope Honorius III
recipient: Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate
text: Jul. 13. Lateran. Pope Honorius III reports to his legate, Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, that the bishop of Famagusta has informed him of excessive behaviour by the archbishop of Nicosia, who has demanded the presence of his suffragan bishops whenever he visits their churches, when they are only bound to be present on the first occasion. The archbishop allows leave of absence for 2 or 3 years to all who have asisia in churches, without the bishops’ permission, and to enjoy their benefices in absentia, on the basis of a successful appeal made to the pope by Rogerius who had an asisia at Famagusta. He claims the right, on the basis of precedents, to create on his consecration a new canonry in every cathedral without consulting the bishops, although no such precedent has ever been experienced at Famagusta. He has forced the bishop of Famagusta, who had obeyed the papal judge delegates in the case of magister D decanus Nycosiensis against the archbishop’s wishes, into exile, after the bishop had been suspended by the bishop of Paphos and the archdeacon of Famagusta, on the unjust accusation that he had failed to meet the archbishop. He has denied the bishop his jurisdictional power of excommunication, because he had excommunicated certain canons of Famagusta. He has entrusted the administration of the diocese to the archdeacon of Famagusta and to Willelmus canonicus Famagustanus. The pope orders Cardinal Pelagius to reinstate the bishop.

text: Jul. 13. Lateran. Pope Honorius III informs Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, his papal legate, that N. Famagustanus cantor, who had aroused the wrath of the archbishop of Nicosia because he had carried out the mandate of the judges delegate in the case of Magister D. decanus Nycosiensis, had been suspended from office by the archbishop on spurious legal grounds. The cantor had observed the sentence until the judge delegates ordered that he be restored, unless there was a further cause for suspension. The cantor celebrated the divine offices, but asks the pope to give him a dispensation if he was at fault. The pope orders Pelagius to quash the sentence and investigate.
