1 i.e. at one of the four seasons at which Holy Orders might properly be conferred."Quatuor temporibus, scilicet sabbato in hebdomadâ tertiâ Adventus, sabbato in hebdomadâ primâ Quadragesimae, sabbato in hebdomadâ Pentecostes, quod est vigilia sanctae Trinitatis, et sabbato illo in Septembri quod sequitur octavam Nativitatis beatae Mariae post festum sanctae Crucis, generaliter potest episcopus sacros ordines conferre. Si vero his temporibus impeditus fuerit, et necesse est, in sabbato ante dominicam Passionis quod dicitur Sitientes, et in sabbato quod est in vigiliâ Paschae, sacros potest ordines ministrare.

The Ember weeks were called "jejunia quatuor temporum." fasts of the four ordination seasons.
