RRR: Confirmation/renewal of grants
939
year: 1175
initiator: Sebastiano Ziani, doge of Venice
recipient: Church of Saint Mark and Stephanus Barocius, procurator operis S. Marci
institution: Saint Mark in Tyre
text: Jun. 1-30. Venice. Rialto. Sebastiano Ziani, doge of Venice, confirms for the church of St Mark and Stephanus Barocius, procurator operis S. Marci, the grant of the Venetian third of Tyre for 5 years, made in January 1164 by Doge Vitalis Michael to Leonardus Fradellus, procurator at the time. Exceptions are a street [ruga], which stretches from the [city] gate to the port, having on one side the ruga sancti Marci and the royal part of Tyre, 300 besants [of revenue], one of the better mills, 2 casalia and one of the better gardens, which were granted to the bishoprics of Jesolo and Torcello. Conceded to the church of St Mark are the revenues from the port and gates, the plateae, fontici, baths, ovens, weights and measures of wine and oil [de stateris, rubis et de mensuris vini et olei], mills and taxation on glass [dationes de vitro]. This is to compensate the church of St Mark for the 1500 besants it raised to assist the Venetians of the ship [navis] of Romanus Mairanus, who fled to Acre from captivity in Constantinople, and for its gift to Venice of 600 Venetian librae. The church may not alienate the property, which should always remain in Venetian ownership. It may not enjoy the proceeds of sugar production in the first year, but can in the sixth, the year following the end of the grant. The witnesses listed are Venetian.
