A distant voice of religious authority, known here chiefly through the weight carried by his office. The text offers little glimpse of the person behind it, leaving his presence formal and remote.

The Pope is mentioned in connection with a letter sent to Venice in 1306. The account gives no further personal history, physical description, or role in the surrounding events.
Description
The text does not describe the Pope’s appearance. His clothing, coloring, age, build, and distinguishing features are unspecified; any portrait should avoid assigning them. No physical description is given. His age beyond adulthood, build, complexion, hair, eyes, clothing, and distinguishing features are all unstated, so a faithful depiction should leave them open.
