August 1–31. Acre. Thomas Berardi, master of the knights of the Temple, addresses the Templar preceptor in Tuscany or his lieutenant. Thomas bishop of Bethlehem and papal legate in partibus cismarinis and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Desiderio OP and many brothers of that order request in exchange a garden in Lucca adjacent to the Domincan convent. He is to use his discretion in complying with this request. A similar letter is addressed to Petrus Ferrandi, Templar preceptor in Italy. Both letters are transcribed in a vidimus of Henry bishop of Lucca dated 10 March 1260.
