text: February 3. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the prior general and friars of the Order of Hermits of Mount Carmel, relating that at their request the late Pope I[nnocentius IV] had certain doubts in their rule clarified and corrected and certain burdens mitigated by Cardinal-Priest H[ugo de Saint-Cher] of Santa Sabina and Bishop G[uillelmus] of Tortosa (Anteradensis), as is more fully contained in the letter for this. Answering their prayers, following his predecessor's example, the pope confirms and strengthens these changes, inserting the text of Innocent’s letter verbatim dated Lyon 1 October 1248, which contains the modified rule dated 28 August 1248.

text: February 9. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the bishops of Totosa (Anteradensis) and Tripoli (Tripolitanus), relating that the petition of Patriarch [Opizo Fieschi] of Antioch that was read to him claimed that although Pope I[nnocentius IV] on the cardinals' advice ordered Master A. of the Temple and the master of the Hospital of Jerusalem to furnish the patriarch and Prince [Bohemond VI] with a certain sum of gold and silver deposited with the masters, to be spent on the defense of the church and city of Antioch, with the addressees assigned as executors for this, the patriarch and prince have only been able to obtain 320 marks of that money so far, which the master of the Hospital furnished them. And although the master of the Temple paid 400 marks sterling of that money to the cleric Gerardus de Pon[te]tremulo, the procurator and nuncio of the patriarch and prince, he exacted and received from the cleric a pledge in the name of the patriarch and prince that if within a year from then the letter of [Pope Innocentius] were found among the goods of the late Patriarch R[obertus de Nantes] of Jerusalem via which letter [Pope Innocentius] himself granted those same 400 marks to the patriarch of Jerusalem, or if the present pope did not wish the patriarch and prince of Antioch to have those same 400 marks, [Gerardus] would return the aforesaid marks to the same master of the Temple. And in order to give complete security to the same master of the Temple over this, the aforesaid 400 marks were deposited with the people who gave their guarantee over this for the aforesaid time under the aforesaid conditions. But because that land has long suffered from enemy attacks, in order for it to rise again, it needs help, so the patriarch of Antioch humbly asked the pope to provide. Therefore, if the addressees do not find that [Pope Innocentius] granted the oft-mentioned 400 marks to the aforesaid patriarch of Jerusalem, those who gave their guarantee are to be absolved of this without difficulty and the oft-mentioned 400 marks are to be given in full to the aforesaid patriarch and prince [of Antioch] to be used for the protection of the church and city of Antioch as they see fit. For the rest, they are to carry out the mandate of [Pope Innocentius] according to his letter. February 9. Lateran.

text: February 9. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the abbot of Cistercian Iubino (Jubin) in the diocese of Antioch, declaring that it is his papal duty to provide for his co-bishops oppressed by poverty, especially those who live in the midst of a perverse nation and are continually attacked by the enemies of the Cross of Christ. The pope relates that his predecessor Pope I[nnocentius IV], considering the miserable state of the land of Antioch and how important it is for the safety of the Holy Land, wrote first to Archbishops [Hugh] of Nicosia and [Joscelin] of Caesarea and Cardinal-Bishop [Eudes of Châteauroux] of Tusculum (Tusculanus), then papal legate in those parts, then to Treasurer [Jordan] Berithensis, ordering them to pay Patriarch [Opizo Fieschi] of Antioch as a special aid a tenth of all ecclesiastical incomes in the Kingdom of Cyprus and the province of Antioch for the following three years, to be used on the fortifications of Castle Quṣair (Cursarium ), which is virtually the most important fortress of the province of Antioch. The pope states that many trustworthy people have informed him that the situation is even worse now and so he is forced to repeat Innocent’s measure and to make provisions for the patriarch and land of Antioch. Therefore the pope orders the abbot to have a tenth of all ecclesiastical incomes for the next three years paid to the patriarch of Antioch by all archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, deans, archdeacons, other rectors of churches, those assized, and all clerics of the Kingdom of Cyprus and province of Antioch, whether they are exempt or not, no matter what order, even if they have an exemption, except for the Cistercians, Templars, and Hospitallers. The money is to go to the fortification and defence of Castle Quṣair (Cursarium). February 9. Lateran.

Cardinal Odo of Tusculum records for the benefit of Hugo de Nisum, papal chaplain and canon of the Holy Sepulchre, that, as the bishop of Lydda (Lidensis) has already been told, since provision to the bishopric of Sebastea in the province of Caesarea had through vacancy devolved on to the Holy See, Hugo was appointed administrator of the bishopric.

text: February 15. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Brother Hugo de Nisum (Nissun), papal chaplain, canon of the church of the Blessed Sepulchre of Jerusalem, relating that the late Pope I[nnocentius IV] once sent a letter to the bishop of Lydda (Liddensis) and his colleague, as the pope has learned, telling them on papal authority to appoint Hugo bishop of Sebaste (Sebastiensis), subject to the church of Caesaria (Cesariensis) by metropolitan right, the collation of which had legitimately devolved upon the Apostolic See because of a long vacancy. But because Hugo has not yet received anything from this grace, on the pope's special mandate and authority Cardinal-Bishop O[do de Châteauroux] of Tusculum (Tusculanus) has committed the procuration, care, and administration in spiritual and temporal affairs of that bishopric to Hugo until he is able to become bishop in it, which is now held by the enemies of the faith, and the cardinal even invested him with his ring, as is more fully contained in his sealed letter. Responding to Hugo's requests, the pope ratifies, confirms, and strengthens what the bishop of Tusculum (Tusculanus) did. The text of the cardinal's letter is inserted verbatim, dated Rome, 12 February 1256 (see RRR 3133). February 15. Lateran.

text: February 17. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch [Jacques Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, papal legate, granting him the faculty of providing by himself or through another six clerics with a single prebendal or other benefice, with or without care of souls, in the cathedrals or other churches of his legation, but maximum one per church; of having them or their procurators received in those churches, as canons and brothers if they are collegiate; and of restraining those who contradict with ecclesiastical censure without appeal, the statute on a fixed number of canons and any other statute, custom, or indulgence notwithstanding. If the benefices have care of souls, the persons receiving them must reside there in person and have themselves promoted to the orders required by that care according to the established times.
