The nature and statues of the recipient is indicated by the gilt Bishopes mitre and the initials P.P., standing for "Pastor Pastorum (Shepherd of Shepherds), "Papa Pontifex" or simply "Papa". Although P.P. can signify Bishop, "P.P." generally stands for Pope and may therefore indicate Pope Paul III (Pope 1534-1549). The earliest known inscription of "P.P." refers to the papacy of Marcellinus which lasted from A.D. 296 to 304 (see G.B. de Rossi. Inscriptiones Christianae urbis romae, vol.1, p.115). At some point at attempt has been made to obscrue the mitre and the tree, but both remain clearly visible nevertheless. George Chapman drew on Andreas Divuses translation in his own important translation of the Odyssey, originally published in folio in 1614Ð16. Adams H770
