A.D. 1191. TDSCULANDM IS "RESTORED TO THE ROMANS. In the month of April, on the fourth day before the ides of the said month, being the fourth day of the week, pope Clement the Third departed this life, and was succeeded byJ acinto, " cardinal deacon of the church of Saint Mary in Cosmedim ; and on the vigil of Easter he was ordained priest, and on Easter day, which fell on the eighteenth day before the calends of May, was consecrated Pontiff of Pome, by Octavianus, bishop of Ostia, being called pope Celestinus the Third.
