A papal document (possible a Bull) issued on the seventh day before the Kalends of February (January 26). The year given is the first of the reign of Pope Benedict XIV (a name given to Bernard Garnier in 1424, and Jean Carrier in approximately 1430). Depending on which of the two antipopes with that name is meant, the year is either 1424 or 1430.
