A friendly Clerk Written Letter Signed to “the Prior and Canons of the Collegiate Church of Cingoli”
saying he is “exceedingly obliged by the gracious interest that the Most Illustrious Ladies are pleased to show toward me, through the kind and delicate congratulations you have favoured me with for the office of Major Penitentiary, to which I have been called solely by sovereign clemency, and by the desire you express to see me in my homeland before my departure for Rome. I therefore offer You my distinguished thanks, from the depths of my heart, for such favour. However, I find it difficult to be able to satisfy Your aforementioned wish, due to the various commitments that I must attend to before my departure. I therefore ask You for Your fervent prayers to our Holy Protector, and, eager to reciprocate with all due affection and esteem...”, 1 side 4to., Cesena, 25th August

PIUS XI
(born Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti, 1857-1939, Pope from 1922 and Sovereign of Vatican City from 1929)
Autograph Letter Signed “B. A. Ratti” in Italian with Translation,
thanking him “from the bottom of my heart for your kind and friendly message of the 12th of this month. I am deeply sorry when you write to me about your sorrows, and I pray that the prognosis for your brother, whom I had the good fortune to meet when I recommended to him a good man who, unfortunately, needed your help and for whom he showed unforgettable and unforgettable kindness, will not come true. If you have the opportunity, please remind him, and give him my best regards. I then immediately took to heart your precious suggestions and asked Senator Li Beltrani to come to my aid with those Galilean volumes, which he did, as is his wont, without delay. The bureaucratic deeds you recount to me are most edifying; we here say: “That’s crazy!”. And unfortunately, the fear that Galileo will be overtaken by Leonardo is legitimate. By the way, thanks for the newspaper you sent: I wasn’t aware of your article; I read it with great interest and with... continuous strings of assent. I’ve been of your opinion for a while now! Nothing about Tartaglia; a lot about Moletti, as you know: if I can help you with anything - at least in the description of the codices - please keep me at your disposal...”, 2 sides 8vo., Milan
