MINORITE FRIARS -- Giovanni de Sigestro (1440-1510), Vicar General of the minorite friars in the cismontane province. Letters patent signed ('Fr. Johannes de Sigestro ... manu p[ro]pr[i]a'), granting lay membership of the order to the Venetian patrician Dominico Tarnisino, monastery of San Ludovico extra muros, Revere (Lombardy), 11 May 1490.
Illuminated initial letter M. In Latin, on vellum, one membrane, 230 x 365mm. Seal in red wax pendant on cords (the seal a little damaged).
A grant to the Venetian patrician Dominico Tarnisino, his wife Caterina and the sons and daughters, 'most devout benefactors of our seraphic prior Francesco': although unable to repay their temporal gifts to the order, Giovanni seeks to recompense them with spiritual benefits and therefore grants them lay membership of the order, with full participation in all the sacraments, and the full benefits of the all spiritual practices of the order, including masses, fasts, abstinences, peregrinations, meditations, preaching, confessions and so forth; as a further honour, an obituary announcement will be made for them in the chapter of the order.
