John has hereby indult to be blessed by the above or any other catholic bishop, who, after blessing him, is to receive his oath of fealty and send it to the pope as usual; and is hereby specially dispensed to hold and administer the said monastery, notwithstanding the said defect etc. Solicite considerationis indaginem.

Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual Italian description: ‘Eugenio IV. 1437 (corrected in pencil to 1436). Anno 6. Lib. 1.’ A flyleaf has the contemporary notes: ‘Primus de beneficiis, prebendis, prebendis et dignitatibus. de dignitatibus vacantibus, et prouisionibus prelatorum Anno vio Eugenii pape IIII’ (which occurs also almost verbatim on the bottom edge of the volume), ‘Conradus die 17 mensis Augusti’ and ‘Rubricatus per Conradum Ciremberg.’
  • 2. Regi Francorum. In the translation which immediately precedes the above in the Register, namely of John, bishop of Amiens, to Térouane, the pope mentions the name of the ‘Rex Francorum,’ viz. ‘Carolo Regi Francorum Illustri.’
  • 3. The usual letter to Henry, king of England, is not given. The provision is not in the Bullarium Pradicatorum nor in Hibernia Dominicana.
