A number of popes have written encyclicals on the rosary and its meaning to Catholics and the world at large. These are the major encyclicals I've been able to find the full text of and an abbreviated version of Consueverunt Romani, an encyclical of Pope Saint Pius V written 17 September 1569. There are even earlier references I've also not been able to locate. If found I'll add them. Note that while not an encyclical, I have also included Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae because of its profound effect on the saying of the Rosary.
