text: 
c. June. [278] A., Nazarenus archiepiscopus writes a general letter to all Christians, including all crusaders. He expatiates on the loss of the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem, to the pagani/Agareni. He encourages his readers to fight to recover the Holy Land, and to take the cross, following the example of Count Baldwin of Flanders and his companions, who have taken Constantinople, or, if they are unsuitable, to give alms. On the authority of the pope, he offers a plenary indulgence. He calls for the liberation of the church of Nazareth.
