Appendix IV

Seals

The seal of the provincial master

In 1224 the provincial master was using a round seal (25 mm. in diameter) of black or dark-green wax, depicting a lamb and bearing the legend: S. PVINCIE ET ARAGONIS.(1) According to a bull issued by Innocent IV in 1251 it was customary for successive provincial masters to use the same seal.(2) A change had been made, however, when the province of Provence and certain parts of Spain was divided into two. The master of Provence contined to use a seal depicting a lamb,(3) but the seal of the Aragonese master William of Cardoona, although round (29 mm. indiameter) and of black or dark-green wax, depicted a knight on horseback, carrying a lance and shield, on which was a cross; it bore the legend: S. MINISTRI TEMPLI 1 ARAGON 7 CATALON.(4) This form of seal was also used by later Aragonese provincial masters.(5)
