Facta fuit congregatio cantorum nostrorum in monasterio Sancti Salvatoris in Lauro: in qua congregatione decretum fuit ut d. Fraciscus de Monte calvo qui erat de commissione magistri et cantorum iturus ad concilium mitteret vice ipsius d. Virgilium de Amanditis debitorem suum pro salario unius mensis: quod quidem salarium remissit ei: si toto tempore concilii serviret pro eo. Et quaecumque causa recederet a concilio nisi de commissione papa vel cantorum: tunc teneretur restituere eidem Francisco salarium sibi datum et remissum: si tamen contigeret Francisco ad concilium ire.
