consisted of a most high Urn supported by a Pedestal having a Triple Crown over it with four Spires which much exceeded the height of the aforesaid Urn with foure steps or degrees between the foure Obeliskes which were all round about full of Coats of Arms and Impresses born up by very high Pedestals on the fronts of which were seen the Arms of his Holiness and some most elegant Inscriptions which shall be here presented for the satisfaction of such as are curious On the first Spire from the side of the Epistle over against the Chappel of the most Holy Sacrament were the two following Inscriptions Vaticani Templi Sanctitatem Maximus Alexander Ut generi Humano augustiorem redderet Circumduxit admirandam Porticum Quam Theatrum dixeris Ubi gestum facit cum majestate Religio And

other side of that Column was the following Inscription alluding to the Temple of S ta Maria in Portico caused to be builded as above after the Contagion with its Medal likewise over it Extincta

timente Sapiens Alexander Cathedram Petri Arbitram temporum Opere aureo magnificè ornavit Sic docuit non nisi per Petri sedem Vigere auream aetatem In the same Spire on the other side alluding to the building of the Church and the Gate Del Popolo with its Medal painted over it were these following Characters Totam ornaturus Romam Beneficus Alexander Primam Populi Portam mox Templum Amplum ac luculentum exornavit Sic tantum fausto ingressui tribuit Quantum studuit ut Romam faeliciter coleretur Upon the other front of the Pedestal of the Spire opposite to the Chappel of Pieta were these following Verses alluding to the building of the Sapientia and of the Library there erected with its Medal above Romanam Academiam Sapientiae Sacram Prudens Alexander Amabiliorem reddidit ac opportuniorem Pulcra aedificatione insigni Bibliotheca Roma potentius regitur Amore sapientiae quàm potentiae metu On the other side of it alluded an Inscription to the building of the Church Santa Maria Della Pace Apertum tot annis Jani Templum Pacificus Alexander Ingenios a pietate tandem clausit Nobilitato Templo Quod Virgini ac Paci dicatum est Sola Deipara Bellonam fugat Upon the front of the Obelisk over against the Chappel of the Sacrament on the uppermost part were the following words with their Medal over them alluding to the Restauration and Building made in the Port of Civita

another Medal without any Inscription underneath Other buildings were painted there made in the life time and by order of the memory of the deceased Pope The Urn was likewise adorned with the
