Goswin Nickel of the Society of Jesus,
Superior General.
SINCE several religious of our Society have reviewed the work entitled Diatribe on Prodigious Crosses, etc., composed by Father Athanasius Kircher, a priest of our Society, and have approved that it may be published, we grant the power for it to be committed to the press, if it shall so seem proper to those whom it concerns. In witness of which thing, we grant these letters, confirmed by our hand and fortified by our seal. Rome, the 21st of January, 1661.
Goswin Nickel.
Let it be printed, if it shall seem proper to the Most Reverend Father Master of the Sacred Apostolic Palace.
O., Archbishop of Patras, Vicegerent.
Imprimatur
Friar Raimondo Capizucchi, Master of the Sacred Apostolic Palace, of the Order of Preachers.
