Nice Leo the Lion type.  Great minds think alike @ominus1 - which is to say I too have been trolling Papal States on eBay.  No Leo's, Great or otherwise, but this is in the same century, anyway:

Now you guys have me forlornly wishing for one of Marcellus II, mainly for Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli.  The Kyrie is way, way at the top of my favorite choral pieces.  ...Hope this skips the ad.  If not, you might want to restart it, after an aural palate cleanse.
