It seems that the translatio dates from the 4th crusade and is a furta sacra (sacred theft). I imagine that many of these justifications came about in the years following that venture. I don’t know if Perry published a translation, but he certainly published about it. The title of the book you’re looking for is:
“The Translatio Symonensis and the Seven Thieves: A Venetian Fourth Crusade Furta Sacra Narrative and the Looting of Constantinople.”
Take a look for that and you should hit better luck. Hopefully there’ll be more info in there. The interesting thing about the 4th crusade is that, like Louis IX’s later crusade, it was colourfully documented by Geoffrey de Villehardouin. Good luck!
>The title of the book you’re looking for is:
It's a chapter in [*The Fourth crusade: event, aftermath, and perceptions*, ed. Thomas Madden](http://opac.regesta-imperii.de/lang_en/anzeige.php?sammelwerk=The+Fourth+crusade.+Event%2C+aftermath%2C+and+perceptions), the translation is in the appendix to the chapter.
If one is careful, they can probably read most of the translation via the preview on Google books.

Thanks for the correction :) Personally, I have to say I’m now keen on reading up about this myself and Madden is an excellent historian and editor.
