Servant of the servants of God

The 1570 bull Quo primum of Pope Pius V in a Roman Missal. Below the name of the Pope Pius Episcopus (Pius Bishop) appears his title Servus servorum Dei. Not all papal documents begin in this way, but bulls do.

"Servant of the servants of God" (Latin: servus servorum Dei)[1] is one of the titles of the Pope and is used at the beginning of papal bulls.[2]
