| Title |
Papal bulla of Martin V |
||
| Description |
English: A lead alloy Medieval Papal Bulla issued by Martin V who was Pope from 1417 - 1431. Only half of the seal survives because it has been cut in half in antiquity. This cut reveals the void through the centre where the threads or ribbon would have passed. There are also deep grooves on the reverse, parallel with the cut; perhaps failed attempts to cut the bulla.
The obverse depicts the face of St Paul (St Peter is on the missing fragment) below the inscription SPA [SPE] (SPA = Sanctus Paulus, SPE = Sanctus Petrus), all of which are surrounded by a beaded border, flanking the outside edge of the bulla. St. Paul is seen on the left looking right, with a long pointed beard, within a backwards-C shaped beaded border, joined to the main. There is a cross between the saints. The reverse bears the legend "[M](A)R / [TIN]VS / [PP] •V•" within a beaded border. 'PP', is an abbreviation of pastor pastorum - meaning shepherd of the shepherds. The style of lettering is distinctive, being more lombardic than other bullae, the U in Martinus is particularly rounded rather than a V. The surface of the bulla has a well developed cream coloured patination and the bulla is in very good condition. Compare Figure 30, number 8 in The Salisbury Medieval Catalogue Volume 3. A complete example of a bulla of Martin V can also be seen on the Cambridgeshire Association for Local History website at <a href="http://www.calh.org.uk/review.htm.">http://www.calh.org.uk/review.htm.</a> This appears to be the first example of Martin V recorded on the PAS database. |
