text: . March 23. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the archbishop of Nicosia (Ugo da Fagiano), relating that the dean and chapter of the Nicosia Church informed him that the incomes of the church have increased while the value of their prebends has been decreased greatly. Since according to the tradition of the Nicosia Church the archbishop administers these prebends, the dean and chapter asked the pope to order the restoration and return of the prebends to their original state. Thus the pope orders the archbishop, if it is so, having investigated their value, to restore and return the prebends to how they were according to the original state of the church, in line with which they were established.

text: . April 5. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the bishops of Paphos and Limassol, relating that he received a complaint from the dean and chapter of Nicosia claiming, among other things, that that, although it is known that assisie in churches in the Latin East (in ecclesiis ultramarinis) and in the Kingdom of Cyprus are permanent benefices, the archbishop of Nicosia has declared them to be temporary ones, from which he can remove the holders without the agreement of the dean and chapter. The bishops are to investigate.

text: . April 11. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to Bishops [Guy?] of Paphos and [Bartolomeo] of Limassol, relating that the dean and chapter of Nicosia sent a petition showing that, in order to support the increase of the divine cult, the late Archbishop Eustorge of Nicosia designated sufficient incomes acquired by purchase in order to set up ten assizes, that is, five subdeaconates and five deaconates, in addition to the thirty that previously existed in the church. Death prevented him from putting his plan into effect, however. Since these incomes have come into the hands of Archbishop [Ugo da Fagiano] of Nicosia, the dean and chapter asked the pope to help them for the good of the same church. Thus the pope – if this is the case – orders the bishops of Paphos and Limassol to force the archbishop to establish the aforesaid ten assizes with the abovesaid incomes according to his predecessor’s arrangement, first warning him, without appeal, notwithstanding any exemptions that the archbishop might have.

text: . April 12. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the dean, chapter and assised (clerics with assises) of the church of Nicosia, responding to their petition by allowing them to continue to wear black copes closed at the back and open down to the chest, with a shirt underneath their copes, when they enter the cathedral and celebrate the divine offices and canonical hours, which they do following the example of the canons of the Lord’s Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The pope forbids anyone from making them alter or change unwillingly this habit and way of celebrating without special papal mandate.

text: . April 13. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the [cardinal-]bishop of Tusculum (Frascati) and papal legate [Eudes de Châteauroux], relating that it was explained to the pope on behalf of the dean and chapter of Nicosia that the late Archbishop Eustorge of Nicosia newly created thirty assizes in that church for the increase of the divine cult, wishing that number to remain perpetually, having the dean and chapter swear that unless the future archbishop, his successor, took an oath to maintain this number, they would not obey him at all. Since the archbishop of Nicosia (Ugo da Fagiano) is compelling them to obey at his will, although he refused to take the oath about the assizes, the dean and chapter humbly asked the pope either to order the archbishop to take the oath or to absolve them from their own oath. The pope orders the legate to do what seems expedient according to God concerning this matter, for the health of their souls and the grace of the church.
