Rosary - Paper, Leather, Encyclical Magnificent Humanity - 2026 - Pope Leo XIV

Very rare and hard-to-find objects personally donated by Pope Leo XIV to a VIP during a private audience. Specifically, it is a splendid Rosary crown of Pope Leo XIV complete with an elegant brown leather case bearing the Pope’s coat of arms with his motto "IN ILLO UNO UNUM". The Rosary is made with precious olive wood beads from the Holy Land of the highest quality, with a total length of about 53 cm. Together with the Rosary is a exclusive copy of the Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas of Pope Leo XIV, printed in Italian and with a cover in cardboard showcasing the Pope’s coat of arms with his motto "IN ILLO UNO UNUM". It is one of the very few copies produced exclusively for the Pope by the Vatican printing house and gifted by him to an eminent personality during a private audience in the Vatican in June 2026. Magnifica Humanitas is the first encyclical letter of Pope Leo XIV. The document is entirely focused on safeguarding the human person in the era of artificial intelligence and technological progress. Its main purpose is to ensure that digital evolution places human dignity at the center of society, preventing man from becoming a slave to technological systems. Key themes addressed in the text include: Centrality of the person: Refusal to reduce the human being to a mere technological cog. New digital enslavements: Denunciation of data colonialism, the exploitation of invisible workers, and human trafficking managed through technology. Ethics and Artificial Intelligence: A call not to entrust machines with lethal decisions, as in the case of automated weapon systems and cyber warfare. Social Doctrine: An appeal not to raise a new "Tower of Babel", but to build a city where God and humanity dwell together. At the end of the book there is a faithful reproduction of the Pope’s signature, which is Italian "Leone" and not the traditional Latin form "Leo", which adds further rarity. Dimensions: Book: 230x140 millimeters - Pages 203 - Rosary: about 530 millimeters in length These two objects were donated directly from the Pope Leo XIV’s own hands to certain high dignitaries of the diplomatic corps who had the privilege to greet him personally in the Vatican; they cannot be bought in any shop as they are exclusive gifts made specifically for the Pope and delivered only by him personally. Along with the two objects is included in the auction an official photograph of Pope Leo, on the back of which is a color coat of arms of the Pope and at the bottom a faithful reproduction of the Papal signature. The photo accompanying the auction clearly shows the extreme care taken in crafting both the Rosary and the book. Worldwide shipping in rigid packaging is available.
