    There is more detail on this Wiki page. Even without the name at the bottom, there are clues to his identity in the image. The palm frond indicates he is a martyr, the cross is of course his Christian faith & devotion. He is wearing clerical robes & a biretta. The biretta & book he is holding tell us he is a doctor of canon law.

    Still a lot easier to work out with the name spelled out!
