LEO X (Pope, 1513-1521, Giovanni de' Medici) -- Pietro BEMBO (1470- 1547). Document signed ('P.Bembus'), a warrant issued on behalf of Pope Leo X addressed to the governor of the city of Rome, Rome, 5 November 1514, in Latin, ordering him to confer the benefice of the Ospedale di San Spirito in Saxia upon Alessandro Neroni, majordomo of the pontifical household, following the death of the previous beneficiary, Ilario of Siena, 6 lines written in brown ink on vellum, one page, 100 x 425 mm, address panel on verso ('Dilecto filio Amadeo almae urbis nostrae gubernatori'), traces of seal (small hole, professionally repaired).
The document is signed by Pietro Bembo as segretario ai brevi to Leo X (Giovanni de Medici) from 1513 - 1521. By the time Bembo had assumed his position in the papal court, his reputation as a writer of impeccable verse and prose was well established with De Aetna and Gli Asolani, published by Aldus in 1495 and 1505 respectively. Bembo's reputation as a master arbiter of language and style continued unabated, and his strict Ciceronianism served him well as papal secretary. At the time he wrote this document, he was in correspondence with Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirandola, urging the study of the style of Cicero and Virgil, which was published as De imitatione. Alessandro Neroni, a Florentine cleric, acted as the papal notary and steward of the household. He had already served Julius II and was later to serve Adrian VI. The Ospedale di San Spirito in Saxia, founded by Innocent III in 1201, had fallen into decay during the period of the Avignon papacy, but was restored and rebuilt under Sixtus IV (1470 - 1484).
The warrant is recorded in Hergenroether, J. Leonis X pontificis maximi Regesta, 1888, page 767, where the previous beneficiary is identified as Ilario Filippo of Siena.
