Fancy silver reliquary theca with a relics of St. Camillus de Lellis, Patron of the sick & doctors

Fancy silver glass-fronted reliquary decorated by intricate filigree ornamentation housing a first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Camillus de Lellis. The relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Sang. S. Camilli (of Saint Camillus [de Lellis]). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of an unidentified Roman Catholic Bishop. The reliquary comes in the original Florentine leather clad velvet lined case of issue. 

Saint Camillus de Lellis, M.I., († 1614) was an Italian priest who founded a religious Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers of the Infirm (abbreviated as M.I.), better known as the Camillians dedicated to the care of the sick. Camillus was beatified by Pope Benedict XIV in the year 1742, and canonized by him four years later in 1746. His mortal remains are located in the altar in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Rome, along with several of his relics. He is a holy patron of the sick, hospitals, nurses, and physicians and is invoked to assist with gambling. His feast day is commemorated on July 14th.
