| Title |
Medieval Bulla of Pope Pius II |
||
| Description |
English: Lead stamped or hammered Bulla of Pope Pius II (1458-1464), patinated overall.
Obverse description: Saints Peter and Paul facing. Obverse inscription: SPASPE Reverse description: Papal name over three lines: PIVS. / PAPA./ II. A bulla was an official document seal could be attached to papers relating to a transaction involving the Church, or also, in the later medieval period, to an indulgence - a get-out-of-gaol card for the hereafter - sold by a license-holding official who would himself have bought this privilege. In the latter case, the bulla might accompany its owner to the grave. Pope Pius II had a relatively colourful life before his election to the papacy, which included visits to northern England and Scotland, which he found unpleasantly grim in wintertime and where he fathered an illegitimate child, and the composition of erotic poetry. After election he became the only pope to write an autobiography. His papacy coincided with the earlier stages of the Wars of the Roses in England. Diameter (long axis): 35.1mm, Height: 31mm, Thickness: 5.0mm, Weight: 32.01gms, |
