Papal bulls are handwritten on parchment, a historical writing surface prepared from animal skin that presents unique challenges to the conservator. This talk will focus on the history, materials, production, and conservation treatment of a papal bull from the collection of the Brown University Library. The Brown University Library&#8217;s papal bull\u00a0is dated to 1580 and was issued by Pope Gregory XIII, the pope responsible for introducing the Gregorian calendar which we use today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8458\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.brown.edu\/libnews\/papal-bull\/tlh_headshot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8458\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8458 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"TLH_headshot\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2016\/04\/TLH_headshot-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Terra Huber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Terra Huber<\/strong> has studied and worked in the field of conservation since 2009.
