Unrecorded 1706 decree announcing the addition to the Roman Calendar of the feast day of St. Hedwig of Poland, a.k.a., Jadwiga Śląska, Hedwig of Silesia, or Hedwig of Andechs (1174-1243).
 
Hedwig was canonized by Pope Clement IV in 1267, but with this 1706 decree Clement XI extended her influence to the wider Catholic world. 
 
Included are Latin oration and lections “to be recited by all who attend the Canonical Hours, both secular and regular, and of both sexes” on Hedwig’s her feast day (17 October). These allude to her marriage to Henry the Bearded (Henryk Jędrzych Brodaty) and the couple’s influence at Cistercian Abbey of nuns in Trzebnica.
 
In 1202 Henry founded Trzebnica Abbey at Hedwig’s request (he is buried there). As a widow Hedwig moved into the monastery (as a lay sister), where her daughter Gertrude was abbess.
 
Included at the end of the text is a copy of the official decree dated 10 March 1706. It mentions how Innocent XI (r. 1676-89) had begun to promote St. Hedwig in collaboration with John III Sobieski (1629-96) and his queen Marie Casimire (1641-1716).
