ACCIDIT AUTEM PER INCURIAM HABITANTIUM UT ECCLESIA SANCTI QUIRIACI PROVINI, QUAM A FUNDATIONE SUA CANONICI SINGULARES QUIETE POSSIDERANT, CANONICIS REGULARIBUS INIBI VIOLENTER INTRUSIS, ALIIS SEMPER TAMEN RECLAMENTIBUS, ABSQUE JUDICIO TRADERETUR...IBI VILLA AEDIFICARETUR AD OPUS ECCLESIAE SANCTI QUIRIACI...

It has come to pass through carelessness that the church of Saint-Quiriace at Provins, which was founded for the quiet possession of solitary canons, a violent intrusion of regular canons in that place, which the others have cried out against, but as for handing down judgment...there a farm will be constructed for the work of the church of Saint-Quiriace...

1238



Building work

ANNO MCCXXXVIII EDIFICABAT.

In the year 1238 it was built.

Source: Maillé, Provins, i, pp. 107-110.

A register commenced in 1350 has a truncated note at the bottom of one page that some construction was carried out in 1238. Maillé, Provins, rejects this date. Branner, "Paris and Rayonnant…", pg. 43, note 1, deems it acceptable.
