I am looking for a copy of the actual signature of Pope Leo X.  It can
be from Exsurge Domine or any other Papal Bull or document.  I,
myself, have a document which I believe to be from the hand of Leo X
himself.  I need a way to confirm this.  To compare the signatures
would be a great beginning.  I need the copy of the actual signature
and not simply the information where it can be found. Thank you.

Unfortunately, though the commenter below is well-intentioned, those
links do not contain the signature of Pope Leo X.  I had already
confirmed that.  I'm still working on your request.
