Plague-dispensation clauses in the statutes of Meissen's cathedral chapter

Text originalOriginal text

Si vero per unam aut duas noctes se absentaverit, tunc denuo et a novo suam residentiam incipere tenebitur... nisi tempore pestilentiae, quo tempore capitulum sibi dispensationem reservavit [...] Reservamus tamen nobis dispensandi potestatem, ut tempore pestis talis canonicus possit se

ad aliam transferre universitatem

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

If he [a canon] should absent himself for one or two nights, then he shall be obliged to begin his residence anew and afresh... unless it is a time of pestilence, in which case the chapter reserves the right to grant him dispensation [...] We nevertheless reserve to ourselves the power to grant dispensation, so that in time of plague such a canon may transfer himself to another university
