Description: | A complete lead papal bull of Gregory IX (1227-41), in excellent condition. The lettering is very sharp making identification unproblematic. The reversse is also in good condition and clearly shows evn fine detail assocaited with the portraits of Staint Peter and Paul. The cord holes survive reasonably well, but the impressions are too corroded to make it clear whether the cords were of silk or hemp (and therefore whether the document was a 'letter of Grace'- a grant- or a 'letter of Justice'- a papal ruling).
The bull's two sides have been sealed at a slight angle: the reverse is at 347 degrees to the obverse, which is quite large for a bull. The cord was sealed in nearest the reverse side, craking showing in the face of this side, between the two apostles' heads. This is the eleventh bull of Grgory IX to have been found in the Diocese of Norwich, to date. Bull of this Pope are some of the more common to be found. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1227
