Wilton album, folio 56d: A pope or doctor of the Church holding a book, seated on clouds with a lion at his feet; possibly Saint Jerome entrhoned as pope
On folio 56 with six other prints: 27.78.1(188-190 and 192-194)
For more information on the Wilton album see entry for 27.78.1(1-428)
Included in the Wilton Album among the prints by Francesco Vanni, but clearly not by him. The inscription on the plate suggests a link with a composition by Vanni but this too seems unlikely
