text: Dec. 18. In the presence of domnus Roardus castellanus Jerusalem, his socer, and other probi vires whose names are [in the list of witnesses], Balduinus dominus casalis Sancti Egidii, together with his wife Stephania, assents to the purchase made by domnus Petrus and the canons of the Holy Sepulchre of the houses, buildings and vineyard acquired by the abbot and monks of Mt Tabor, as much from gifts by his ancestors as by purchase and other means. The canons of the Holy Sepulchre will hold these with the same freedom [francicia et libertas] as did the monks of Mt Tabor. Balduinus abandons his dispute with the canons over a house that they already possessed in the casale. This charter is reproduced in duplicate, with Balduinus and canons each keeping a copy.

text: Mar. 5. Lateran. Pope Innocent III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem, the papal legate. He approves the election by the canons of the church of Antioch and the translation to the patriarchate of Antioch of the bishop of Ivrea that resulted from the patriarch of Jerusalem’s mediation. He wishes the patriarch of Jerusalem to confer on the new patriarch the insignia of his office as soon as possible and he expects the two patriarchs to work together in the interests of the Holy Land. Turning to the conflict between the king of Armenia, the Knights Templar and the count of Tripoli, he orders the patriarch of Jerusalem to work for reconciliation and to insist on the observance of truces, given the danger to the Holy Land, while persuading the king to restore the Templar properties. With the ending of the dispute between Duke Philip of Swabia and Otto [of Brunswick], who has gained the [western] empire, he hopes assistance will come. Meanwhile he is sending a large sum of money, to be spent on the needs of the Holy Land by the patriarch, the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers of St John.
