Vitelleschi, Mutio (1563-1645) Illuminated Parchment Document Signed. Rome, 3 February 1624. Jesuit honorarium, perhaps a copy of Vitelleschi's diploma, as it refers to another date in December, 1584, which could align with his graduation, the present document with the 1624 date, and signed by Vitelleschi at the foot, painted illuminations of flowers in the borders, rondelles with the Virgin Mary and an angel in the top corners, and the Jesuit emblem at the center top, some loss of the surface, old folds, rumpled, a piece torn away at the foot, the Pope's name written in gold; framed, 26 1/4 x 17 3/4 in.
