“The Cabildo (i.e., the community of Canons of the cathedral) of this Holy, Apostolic and Metropolitan cathedral church of Compostela, guardian of the seal of the altar of the Apostle James, to all the faithful and pilgrims who arrive from any part of the Earth’s globe, with a mindset of devotion, or due to a vow or promise to make pilgrimage to the tomb of the Apostles, our patron, and the protector of Spain, certifies that (name) has devoutly visited this most holy temple with Christian intent. In fidelity to this, I give you this record endorsed with the seal of this same holy church. Given at Santiago de Compostela on the day, month and year of the Lord.”
