Editing Pope Leo X (section)

=== Statesman ===
Several minor events of Leo's pontificate are worthy of mention. He was particularly friendly with King [[Manuel I of Portugal]] as a result of the latter's missionary enterprises in [[Asia]] and [[Africa]]. Pope Leo X was granted a large embassy from the Portuguese king furnished with goods from Manuel's colonies.<ref>{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Emanuel I.|volume=9|page=305}}</ref> His concordat with Florence (1516) guaranteed the free election of the clergy in that city.{{CN|date=January 2022}}

His constitution of 1 March 1519 condemned the King of Spain's claim to refuse the publication of papal bulls. He maintained close relations with [[Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Poland]] because of the Turkish advance and the Polish contest with the Teutonic Knights. His bull of July 1519, which regulated the discipline of the [[Catholic Church in Poland|Polish Church]], was later transformed into a concordat by [[Clement VII]].<ref name="auto"/>

Leo showed special favours to the [[Jews]] and permitted them to erect a Hebrew [[printing]]-press in Rome. Under [[Daniel Bomberg]], that press produced manuscripts of the [[Talmud]]<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Heller|first=Marvin J|date=2005|title=Earliest Printings of the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein|url=http://www.jewishhistory.com/PRINTINGTHETALMUD/essays/7.pdf|journal=Yeshiva University Museum|page=73|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815204146/http://www.jewishhistory.com/PRINTINGTHETALMUD/essays/7.pdf|archive-date=15 August 2016}}</ref> and [[Mikraot Gedolot]] with Leo's approval and protection.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Encyclopedia Judaica|last=Habermann|first=Abraham Meir|publisher=Keter|year=1971|page=1195}}</ref>

He approved the formation of the [[Oratory of Divine Love]], a group of pious men in Rome which later became the [[Theatines|Theatine Order]], and he canonized [[Francis of Paola]].<ref>Flesch, Marie.
