Lot information
A handwritten Czech translation of the official instructions issued by the Holy Congregation of Rites in the Vatican on May 7, 1904. The document is addressed to Monsignor František Bland, Privy Chamber Provost, and contains detailed instructions on the dress and ceremonial duties of the Privy and Honorary Papal Chambers. The translation faithfully follows the original Latin-Italian text and ends with a transcription of the name of the butler of His Holiness, Cardinal Ottavio Cagiana de Azevedo, but it is not his handwritten signature. It is only the written name translated together with the text. The document thus represents an administrative aid intended for the needs of the Czech recipient, not an original or signed official document from the Vatican.Bidders are obliged to inform themselves about the condition of the lots before the auction, subsequent complaints will not be taken into account.
This is an automatically generated English translation from the original Czech text using deepl.com and is intended for reference only – it does not constitute a legally binding statement of the lot's properties. Please note that we can only guarantee the accuracy of the description and condition as stated in the original Czech version.
