Jul. 13. Lateran. Pope Honorius III informs Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, his papal legate, that N. Famagustanus cantor, who had aroused the wrath of the archbishop of Nicosia because he had carried out the mandate of the judges delegate in the case of Magister D. decanus Nycosiensis, had been suspended from office by the archbishop on spurious legal grounds. The cantor had observed the sentence until the judge delegates ordered that he be restored, unless there was a further cause for suspension. The cantor celebrated the divine offices, but asks the pope to give him a dispensation if he was at fault. The pope orders Pelagius to quash the sentence and investigate.
