Summary:

Judgment pronounced by Francesco di Nanni Todeschini Piccolomini, then a cardinal, later Pope Pius III, in the name of the Catholic Church and Pope Alexander VI summoning the help of all authorities - both ecclesiastic and secular - in the republics of Florence and Siena. A portion of the document is dedicated to listing these authorities, beginning with Piero (here written Pietro) Soderini, gonfaloniere of Florence. The document also condemns 5 Florentine citizens for disobeying letters of excommunication, and deprives them of their lands. One of the people mentioned in the document is a goldsmith named Michelangelus. Document continues on verso.
