Any takers? I can email the scanned copy. It is a short document…
 
Type the words on here- I personally am reluctant to open an attached file from someone I don’t know.

Well,

Amiens in Latin is AMBIANENSIS. It is an authentication letter for relics. It describes the characteristics or the reliquary.
 
Feel free to tell me if I am wrong.

Sorry i didn’t translate it word for word.

Of the Grace of God and the Apostolic See
Bishop of Amiens

Sorry, I can’t give a word for word translation, so I’ll paraphrase what I can decipher.

The reliquary carries authentic relics of St. Andrew (I assume the apostle). It was venerate publicly in the diocesan chapel
Code: 
 Datum Ambiani die 30 menis 11 anno Dni 1927
 Given at Amiens, 3 May in the year of the Lord 1927

                         De Mandato Illustrissimi ae Reverendissimi
DD. Episcopi Ambianensis:
Of the command of the Most Illustrious and Most Reverend Lord, the Lord Bishop of Amiens.

I’m afraid that’s all I can do.
 
A good person on this forum to ask is Mike C. He can read, write, and speak Latin fluently! Send him a private message.
