Description:
A letter of Pope Leo X to his kinsman Zanobi de' Medici, on his return from Constantinople, urging him to proceed to Rome. "LEO . Xs -- Dilecte fili salutem et Apostolicam benedictionem. Quod ex Bizantio ad civitatem nostram Anconam incolumis redieris, atque hi exitus navigationis tibi fuerint, quos sperabas, sane pro nostra in te paterna dilectione non parum gavisi sumus. Quem quoniam multis de causis non solum videre, sed etiam in Domino complecti cupimus, gratum nobis feceris, si recta ad nos atque ad praesentiam nostram te contuleris; quod minime dubitamus, te protua in nos reverentia et cultu diligenter esse facturum. Datum Romae apud Sanctum Petrum sub annulo piscatoris die XIII Julii M D X X I. Pontificatus nostri anno Nono. (Signed) BEMBUS. per Favorinum de Manto."
