Miscellaneous manuscripts (Large), 1684-1699.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/299577921

Two documents on parchment in Latin, dated November 26, 1698, and August 28, 1699, and one on paper in Italian, dated December 26, 1684. The 1684 Italian document is a letter written and signed by cardinal Antonio Pignatelli, who later became Pope Innocent XII, probably addressed to Pope Innocent XI, who had created him Cardinal-Priest and archbishop of Naples. In the letter, Pignattelli thanks the Pope for his Christmas wishes and expresses his gratitude for being allowed to serve the Church. He also proclaims his willingness to persevere in his office under the guidance of Innocent XI. The two Latin documents were issued by Pope Innocent XII, but signed by cardinal J.F. Albani, who later became Pope Clement XI. The 1698 document grants a plenary indulgence to all, regardless of gender, who visit the church of Saint Joseph in the jurisdiction of Rome on the feast-day of Saint Joseph, and at that time pray for peace among all Christians. However, it is also stated that the indulgence will only be in effect for seven years, and those who give only a little will receive nothing in return. Contains a later note dated 1699, and remnants of a wax seal. The 1699 document is a papal brief addressed to the bishop of the diocese of Recanati and Loreto in central Italy concerning an individual of that diocese named Octavius Dionysius.
