You are bidding on a rare and authentic illuminated document 13 inches X 13 inches on parchment paper [ prepared and cut calf's skin ] handwritten and signed august 15 1599 in the name of Pope Clemens VIII Clemens VIII; 24 February 1536 – 5 March 1605), born Ippolito Aldobrandini, was Pope from 2 February 1592 to his death in 1605. Born in Fano, Italy[1] to a prominent Florentine family, he initially came to prominence as a canon lawyerbef...ore being made a Cardinal-Priest in 1585. In 1592 he was elected Pope and took the name of Clement. During his papacy he effected the reconciliation of Henry IV of France to the Catholic faith and was instrumental in setting up an alliance of Christian nations to oppose the Ottoman Empire in the so-called Long War. He also successfully adjudicated in a bitter dispute between the Dominicans and the Jesuits on the issue of efficacious grace and free will. In 1600 he presided over a jubilee which saw a large number of pilgrimages to Rome. He had little pity for his opponents, presiding over the trial and execution of Giordano Bruno and implementing strict measures against Jewish residents of the Papal States. He may have been the first pope to drink coffee. Clement VIII died at the age of 69 in 1605 and his remains now rest in the Santa Maria Maggiore.This Document is signed under the date of 1599 it is a bit hard to see with my poor vision but I suppose any document 400 years old will likey have areas that are hard to define.the measurements are 12 1/4 inches x 13 inches.no reserve and free shipping. these documents would be wonderful framed !
