Image Title: Ordination to the Minor Order of Exorcist
Description: This engraving illustrates ordination to the minor order of exorcist, the third of seven ordinations culminating in full priesthood. The bishop, seated on his throne and surrounded by attendant priests, offers an ornate book (perhaps the book of exorcisms) to one of the ordainees. The tonsure of the ordainees and priests is clearly depicted.
