Descrição: SAINT Sylvester was pope at Rome in 313, the year of the recognition of Christianity in the empire under Constantine. Little is known of his history beside the false report based on forgeries of the eighth century that to him Constantine made a grant of Italian territory embracing what was afterward known as the States of the Church. The supposed grant later became notorious as the Donatis Constantini, upon which for centuries was based a claim for secular as well as spiritual sovereignty on behalf of the see of Rome. The legend has long been dissipated; and Sylvester's name has survived to modern times chiefly because the date of his burial, celebrated as the Feast of Saint Sylvester, has the distinction of falling on the last day of the calendar year.
