Transcription

(SC) Iohannes episcopus servus servorum Dei, reverentissimo et sanctissimo confratri nostro Iohanni episcopo salutem.

Gratias vobis innumeras referimus eo quod cognoscimus semper vestram sanctitatem nostre ecclesie esse proficuam et habere sollicitudinem de nostris rebus que in vestris partibus sunt. Hec faciat Deus et hec addat, ut dignam conpensationem recipiatis pro tempore.

Scitote quia hec omnia que nobis Albuinus comes fecit domno pape mandavimus et regi. Unde domnus papa suas litteras vobis mandat, et sapiatis certissime quia Berengarius rex Romam vadit et nos cum illo, unde potestis scire quia domnus papa non dimittit nostram causam usque in finem, donec de is omnibus veram legem habeamus. Et videtur nobis si domnus papa potest grande impedimentum preparabit Albuino comiti.

Editor's Notes

The follow-up to Pope Sergius III's letter to Bishop John of Pula (see it edited here), the Archbishop of Ravenna, John XI, encourages his fellow cleric in Istria that Count Albuin's days are numbered and that the pope will put pressure on King Berengar I until the entire matter of the count's alienation of Church property is resolved.

Whether the matter would indeed be resolved cannot be inferred based on the surviving primary sources.

This is also the last mention of Count Albuin (see more on him in the "Editor's Comments" section of doc. 910_PS).
