Why can't I print more than one page at a time?
While we understand printed pages are helpful to our users, this limitation is necessary to help protect our publishers' copyrighted material and prevent its unlawful distribution. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

going pages have narrowed in any appreciable degree the scope of an intriguing problem in medieval German history, and if they have contributed something toward a better understanding of the most important peaceful pilgrimage to Palestine in the twelfth century, they will have adequately served their intended purpose.


APPENDIX
THE JERUSALEM DIPLOMA OF HENRY THE LION

Henry, duke of Bavaria and Saxony, makes known that he has established an endowment for three lamps, which are to burn perpetually in the Church of the Resurrection (i.e., the Church of the Holy Sepulcher).256

JERUSALEM, 1172

In nomine sancte et indiuidue Trinitatis, Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen. Notum sit257 omnibus tam presentibus quam futuris sancte matris ecclesie filiis, quod Ego Henricus per dei gratiam Bawarie et Saxonie

The complete text of this diploma probably was put into print for the first time by J. J. Mader, in his Antiqvitates Brunsvicenses (new ed. [Helmstedt, 1678], No. IX, pp. 122-25; the first ed. was published in 1661 [cf. ibid., p. 280]). Mader's text--which appears to have been taken from a copy of the diploma furnished by J. J. Hoffmann, an official in the service of the duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (see ibid., Preface)--was reprinted in P. J. Rehtmeyer Braunschweig-Lüneburgische Chronica, I ( Brunswick, 1722), 338 (see Heydel, pp. 137-38, No. 62). It may be presumed that there were two originals (cf. below, n. 269), one being deposited in the archives of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the other retained by Henry the Lion and brought to Brunswick. In any case, Scheid prepared from an original ("ex autographo") a new edition of the diploma for Vol. III of the Origines Guelficae (Book VII, Probationes, No. LXVI, pp. 516-17). The original used by Scheid, though possibly still extant, was untraceable as late as 1929 (see Heydel, loc. cit.). Before it disappeared, however, Jung fortunately had a facsimile made, for reproduction in the fifth volume of the Origines Guelficae, where it appears opposite p. 18. The text here submitted is intended to be a faithful transcript of the facsimile, with the abbreviations extended. I have tried to avoid any alterations in spelling and capitalization. My punctuation differs somewhat from Scheid's but not essentially. The chief purpose in appending the text of the diploma to this essay is to make it more readily accessible. In the following places, it is only summarized or given in small part: Röhricht, Regesta regni Hierosolymitani, p. 130, No. 494; Otto Dobenecker, Regesta diplomatica necnon epistolaria historiae Thuringiae, II (Jena, 1900), 87, No. 456; Meklenburgisches Urkundenbuch, I (see above, n. 72), 102, No. 103.

Both Mader and Scheid have "si." The word is spelled out in the facsimile.
