870 . The same is true here. A bull of June 17, 1494, on ff. 157-159, grants 
certain rights “ in Castile and Leon and Aragon and whatever other 
kingdoms and lordships are subject to them 
871 . A bull of May 9, 1502, ff. 253-258, “Ad perpetuam rei memoriam ”, 
grants the Spanish sovereigns certain favors in all their “ regnis, 
terris, insulis, locis, ac dominiis 
873 . Bulls of Nov. 12, 1494, on ff. 89-99, and 99-104, use similar phraseology 
in making grants to the Spanish sovereigns, as does one of Feb. 13, 
1496, ff. 408-409. 
Pius III. Indice 277 gives rubricella-e of volume 885 , which contains the 
bulls of this short pontificate. There is nothing relating to America. 
Leo X. Of this pontificate only the littcrae secretae were examined. Of 
these there are 12 volumes, numbers 1193 - 1204 , for which there are rubri- 
cellae in indice 279 .

REGESTA LATERANENSIAT 
This series was transferred in 1892 from the Lateran to the Archivio. It 
was formerly known as the Regesta Cancellaria, as the Archivio di Bolle, 
under which title Garampi refers to it, and as the Regesta della Dataria. 13 
It consists of bulls only, but contains not only those emanating from the 
v> This and the bull in 1197 are addressed to Ferdinand, but the dates given are after 
his death. This discrepancy appeared too late for me to resolve it. 
11 The best discussion of this series is that in the Repertorium Germanicum (Berlin, 
1897), vol. I., by Robert Arnold, pp. xx-xxxiv. 
12 P. Kehr, Aeltere Papstnrkunden in den Pdpstlichen Registern von Innocenz III. 
bis Paid III. (Gottingen, 1902), pp. 402 seq. Kehr refers to this register as continuing 
that of Avignon, but its range is different from that, as is evident. It does not, more¬ 
over, so far as I was able to find in an exhaustive examination of the volumes for the 
short pontificate of Pius III. (1503), and a running comparison at other points, par¬ 
ticularly for the reign of Paul III. (1534-1550), duplicate the Regesta Vaticana, as does 
that of Avignon.
