February 3. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the prior general and friars of the Order of Hermits of Mount Carmel, relating that at their request the late Pope I[nnocentius IV] had certain doubts in their rule clarified and corrected and certain burdens mitigated by Cardinal-Priest H[ugo de Saint-Cher] of Santa Sabina and Bishop G[uillelmus] of Tortosa (Anteradensis), as is more fully contained in the letter for this. Answering their prayers, following his predecessor's example, the pope confirms and strengthens these changes, inserting the text of Innocent’s letter verbatim dated Lyon 1 October 1248, which contains the modified rule dated 28 August 1248.
Sources: 
The text of Alexander IV also contains a copy of the formula of life written by Patriarch Albert of Jerusalem circa 1209. ASV, Reg. Vat. 24, ff. 134v-135r, no. 75; calendar entry in Bourel de La Roncière, Les registres, 1:327, no. 1091. There is confusion about the dates: the documents referred to here are described above with the date 1 October 1247 [RRR 2602-4] and 1 September 1247 [RRR 2601] respectively.
