A copy of Pope Boniface's Bull of c. 1400 . Probably a 19th century copy, written in modern English. Vellum sheet, landscape format, 28.7cm x 39cm, with 3 vertical folds and one horizontal fold. Clear English text throughout. Verso with title and a further note: " NB. to restrain the above Partire was enacted the Stayute of 2 Hen. 4 C 4. Anno Dom. 1400 Vide the Act. Note also, no lands formerly of the Cistercians are now discharged from the payment of tithes even in the hands of the owner, but those only which that order was in possession of before the 4th General Council Lateran Ano. Dom 1215..." "Boniface IX, c.1345-1404, pope (1389-1404), a Neapolitan named Pietro Tomacelli; successor of Urban VI. The Avignon antipopes Clement VII and Benedict XIII were his contemporaries during the Great Schism. He succeeded in imposing his rule on the Papal States. He fortified Rome and brought Naples under the Roman obedience. His attempt to replenish the papal treasury proved unpopular, and he was accused of nepotism and simony. He was succeeded by Innocent VII." - See Columbia Encyclopedia . *** " The Council of the Lateran in 1215 further restricted this exemption to lands of which these orders were in possession before that council. A custom by the religious to obtain exemption for lands let to their tenants by means of bulls from the pope was put an end to by a statute of Henry IV. making the acquisition or use of such bulls henceforward a praemunire. When the religious houses were dissolved by Henry VIII., in the case of the greater abbeys and priories the exemptions from payment of tithes enjoyed by them passed to the Crown or the persons to whom the Crown assigned them, and thus any lands which might have been thus exempted, whether they had been actually so or not, were presumed to be exempt; and a further exemption was created by parsonages coming into the same hands as tithable lands, which lasted so long as such union continued.
