In 1464 Pope Pius II donated a precious relic to the cathedral of Siena, his hometown-the right forearm and hand of St John the Baptist. On that occasion the appropriate document was drawn up-a donation charter. This paper offers a transcription of the Latin text of the charter (furnished with critical apparatus) and its translations into Serbian and English.
