. April 12. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the dean, chapter and assised (clerics with assises) of the church of Nicosia, responding to their petition by allowing them to continue to wear black copes closed at the back and open down to the chest, with a shirt underneath their copes, when they enter the cathedral and celebrate the divine offices and canonical hours, which they do following the example of the canons of the Lord’s Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The pope forbids anyone from making them alter or change unwillingly this habit and way of celebrating without special papal mandate.
