Coronation Reflections and Papal Inscriptions 1700-1701
Excerpt discusses Pope Clement XI coronation on 24 November 1700, notes his modesty and reluctance, compares him with Cardinal Pole, and describes catafalque pillars and inscribed pedestals praising papal virtue. References to missions in China and Latin inscriptions on temple facades appear in a reflective antiquarian tone.
