The Officium Bullae Sanctissimae Crocitatae fonds (OBC) contains records on the administration of the Bull of Crusade (Bolla della Crociata) managed by the prior of the Conventual Church of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and Malta. The Bolla della Crociata conferred a large number of privileges to those who benefited from it, ranging from soldiers who participated in the struggle for the defence or expansion of Christianity, or those who supported such efforts financially, with the Bulla being valid for a set period before requiring renewal. A specific office was set up in Valletta in the area of the Auberge de Castille (actual location unspecified) to administer the granting of the Bulla, manage the financial aspect of the program and raise the funds required for the renewal of the Order's licence every six years.
