    "POPE INNOCENT XIII PAPAL BULL on LARGE PARCHMENT – 1722"
    Size: 14.4" x 11" (37 cm x 26 cm), Signed
    Pope Innocent XIII
    (Latin:
    Innocentius XIII
    ; 13 May 1655 – 7 March 1724) was born as
    Michelangelo dei Conti
    and was Pope from 8 May 1721 to his death in 1724. He is the last pope to date to take the pontifical name of "Innocent" upon his election.
    Pope Innocent XIII was reform-oriented, and he imposed new standards of frugality, abolishing excessive spending. He took steps to finally end the practice of nepotism by issuing a decree which forbade his successors from granting land, offices or income to any relatives - something opposed by many cardinals who hoped that they might become pope and benefit their families.
