- Abstract
-
Manuscript on parchment. The book is not so much a guide to the pilgrimage churches of Rome, as a set of instructions on how to obtain the same spiritual benefits without making the actual pilgrimage. The seven letters designating the seven Roman basilicas serve as references throughout the manuscript. The latest indulgence to be mentioned (f. 14r) was awarded by Pope Pius II (1458-1464). After the description of the indulgences to be obtained in the seven principal churches, the manuscript mentions the station days and indulgences for the Temporale and for the Sanctorale and the visits to make during the non-station days
