Description

Comprised primarily of Latin prayers to the Virgin Mary, this Italian manuscript ends with a transcription of an indulgence that was promulgated by Pope Leo X on February 18, 1516. This indulgence granted remission of sins to those who recited the Pater Noster (Lord's Prayer) thirty-three times with a special garland of prayer beads known as the Corona domini (Crown of the Lord).
