Description: "POPE PAUL II PAPAL BULL on LARGE PARCHMENT - Papal Decree Granting Approval for Exchange of Ecclesiastical Positions in the Diocese of Ruthen on June 8, 1471"Size: 19" x 15" (48 cm x 37 cm), Multiple SignaturesThe document is a papal decree in which Pope Paul grants approval for an exchange of ecclesiastical positions between Antonio de Pozolis and Johannes de Pozolis. Antonio, the Archdeacon of Amiliam in the Church of Ruthenian and a Bachelor in Laws, is exchanging his position with Johannes, who holds the position of parish priest at the Priory of Saint Vincent of Brussaw in the Diocese of Ruthen. The Pope acknowledges their resignation from their respective positions to facilitate this exchange and grants them absolution from any ecclesiastical penalties they might have incurred, allowing them to hold any church benefices they are entitled to. The decree reflects the Pope's willingness to accommodate the just and reasonable desires of his clergy, as long as they align with the principles of reason and faith.Brüssow [ˈbrʏso] is a rural town in the northeast of the Uckermark district in Brandenburg and the administrative seat of the Brüssow (Uckermark) district. It lies between the cities of Prenzlau and Pasewalk and the Polish metropolis of Szczecin. The community was founded by Slavs and was colonized in the 12th century by German immigrants during the Ostsiedlung period. In 1259, Brüssow's city rights are mentioned for the first time in writing. The town had a good strategic location on the road Magdeburg – Berlin – Stettin. Between 1550 and 1809, city rights were revoked.Pope Paul II (Latin: Paulus II; Italian: Paolo II; 23 February 1417 – 26 July 1471), born Pietro Barbo, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 30 August 1464 to his death. When his maternal uncle became Pope Eugene IV, Barbo switched from training to be a merchant to religious studies. His rise in the Church was relatively rapid. Elected pope in 1464, Paul amassed a great collection of art and antiquities. Born at Venice, 1417; elected 30 August, 1464; died 26 July, 1471; son of Niccolo Barbo and Polixena Condulmer, sister of Eugene IV. Although he studied for a business career, he received an excellent religious education and, at the elevation of his uncle to the papacy, entered the ecclesiastical state. He became Archdeacon of Bologna, Bishop of Cervia and of Vicenza, and in 1440 cardinal-deacon. Noted for his generosity and imposing appearance, the Cardinal of Venice, as he was called, was very influential under Eugene IV, Nicholas V, and Calixtus III, less so under Pius II. He became the latter's successor, and owed his election partly to the dissatisfaction of some of the cardinals with the policy of his predecessor. To this could be traced the oath which Barbo swore to at the conclave, but which he rightfully set aside after election, since it was opposed to the monarchial constitution of the Church. Paul II delighted in display. He introduced splendid carnival festivities, built the palace of S. Marco (now di Venezia), revised the municipal statutes of Rome, organized relief work among the poor, granted pensions to some cardinals, and to all the privilege of wearing the red biretta. His suppression in 1466 of the college of abbreviators aroused much opposition, intensified by a similar measure against the Roman Academy. Platina, a member of both organizations, who had been repeatedly imprisoned, retaliated by writing a calumnious biography of Paul II. That Paul II was not opposed to Humanistic studies, as such, is evidenced by the fact that he protected universities, encouraged the art of printing, and was himself a collector of works of ancient art. The suppression of the Roman Academy was justified by the moral degeneracy and pagan attitude which it fostered. On the other hand, the charge of immorality brought against Paul II by Gregory of Heimburg is untenable. The pope punished the Fraticelli in the Papal States, prosecuted heretics in France and Germany, decreed in 1470 the observance of the jubilee every twenty-five years, and made an unsuccessful attempt at uniting Russia with the Church. The Turkish question received his earnest attention, particularly after the fall of Negropont (1470). Financial assistance was granted to Hungary and the Albanian leader Scanderbeg. No general results were obtained, however, owing to the lack of co-operation among the Christian powers; to disturbances in the Papal States, where Paul II suppressed the robber knights of Anguillara, and perhaps chiefly to the conflict between the papacy and King George Podiebrad of Bohemia.
