text: Dec. 31. Lateran. Pope Innocent III writes to the bishop of Tripoli. He records how he had quashed the translations that the patriarch of Antioch, following the example of his predecessor, who had moved the archbishop of Tarsus [Tarsensis] to the archbishopric of Mamistra [Mamistanum] and the bishop of Valenia, archbishop elect of Apamea, to the diocese of Tripoli. He stresses the canon law, ecclesiology and theology underpinning the papal prerogative, in spite of the protests of the patriarch of Antioch in the name of his church’s ancient status. Now, recognizing the bishop’s worth, which had been vouched for by C[onradus] Maguntinus archiepiscopus, Innocent confirms him in his possession of the church of Tripoli, dispensing him from his previous offices.

text: *Spring. Letters despatched to Rome wrongly report a German triumph in the Holy Land. They are followed by others that inform the pope that when the German [crusaders] reached Acre, they recovered the castle at Beirut, which was undefended. The Sarraceni had attacked and taken Jaffa, killing thousands of Christians. The Germans, hearing rumours of the death of the western emperor, reembarked, leaving the Christian settlers in peril from the Sarraceni. On Aug. 15, therefore, Pope Innocent III issues the letter Post miserabile, proclaiming a new crusade.
