Transiturus de hoc mundo, the 1264 papal bull of Pope Urban IV, is the Catholic Church's own primary instrument establishing the feast of Corpus Christi for the universal church, following the reported Eucharistic miracle of Bolsena. As the Church's own act of institution, it is fully authoritative for what the bull actually established, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It is the founding instrument itself, not an independent historical account of the Bolsena events that reportedly prompted it, which needs a separate source.
