Description:

Indulgence issued in 1518 (after his proclamation of a five-year European truce in March of that year) by Pope Leo X through Lodovico Canossa, legate to King Francis I of France (since 1515 also Duke of Milan) to promote a crusade against the Turks. Printed on parchment, the text contains two headlines: "Confessionale" (line 1) and "Forma absolutionis per confessionem penitentibus et confitentibus impendendatalis est." (line 56). Blanks have been left in the text for the names of the recipient and confessor, the day and month of issue, and other information to be supplied in ms. The text is surmounted by three square woodcut devices: the arms of Leo X, a cross pierced by four nails (with motto: IN HOC SIGNO VINCES), and the arms of the French monarchy.
