text: Nov. 16. Petrus Bernardi, a canon of the Holy Sepulchre, with the consent of Petrus prior and his fellow canons, permits Andreas and his wife Hosanna to build a house on land belonging to the Holy Sepulchre in that part of the city of Jerusalem which is under royal jurisdiction. The land adjoins a house belonging to the Holy Sepulchre, a house of the Hospital of St John which used to be owned by Garsia, and a house which belonged to Robertus Galatinae. Andreas and Hosanna must pay a rent [redditus] of 2 besants a year to the Holy Sepulchre. If either Andreas or Hosanna should die, the surviving spouse can continue to live in the house while paying the same rent. After the death of both the house will pass to the Holy Sepulchre. The canons also allow Andreas and Hosanna to draw water for their needs from the canons’ cistern which is at the foot of the steps [ad pedes gradus]. Witnesses: Holdredus judex; Albertus de Virduno; Ricardus; Rogerius, magister clientium Sancti Sepulchri; Arnuldus sellarius; Petrus Porcellus; Habert de Falcomberga; Bernardus Riquitie. The charter was written by Johannes Pisanus, who was teaching the young clerics [clericuli] at the Holy Sepulchre.
