AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Features:
Support: original antique parchment.
Seal preservation: It still retains the original hemp cord that supported the pendant seal in sealing wax/ wafer.
Writing and Calligraphy: Splendid and sharp sixteenth-century chancery cursive (Littera Gemina) rich in elegant calligraphic motifs and ink flourishes in the upper margin.
Archivist's Note: The back bears a precious archival note from a later period (17th–18th c.) in Italian that summarizes the subjects and conditions of the dispensa ("Venanzio Mirabella - Catarina Meracchio di Marano...").
Historical-Collector Data:
Era / Year: January 1577 (Anno Domini 1577, Pontificate of Gregory XIII, Year V)
Authorizing Authority: Apostolic Penitentiary (Rome)
Conditions: Very good for a document of almost 450 years. Parchment intact, brown ink perfectly preserved and legible, natural age folds.
Visually and aesthetically striking document, perfect for framing thanks to the superior ornamental inscriptions. A piece of 16th-century history that combines interest in paleography, local history, and canonical law of the post-Tridentine period.
