1522.

Archivio Consistoriale. In addition to the above collection, there is in the 
Archivio Vaticano, in the third or last room behind the sala di studio, along 
the Vialone di Belvedere, an uninventoried collection of about 100 volumes 
with this title. Nearly all these volumes are provided with elaborate indexes, 
often giving separately the names of churches, of monasteries, and of matters. 
These indexes are, however, rather deceptive, as their elaboration does not 
ensure correctness. In one volume with thirty-two actual references to Ameri¬ 
can dioceses, there were fourteen omissions and two other errors. A list of 
the volumes follows, with a few references to American material: 
(Acta Cancellarii.) The first bears the title: 61 “Rerum Concistorialium 
Leone Decimo et Adriano VI. Pontificibus Maximus expeditarum per me 
Julium de Medicis S. Vicecancell The subsequent volumes have similar 
titles.

sistorii, ad sacrum R mor Dnor S. R. E. Cardinalium Collegium pertinentia, et 
a R mis Dnis eiusdem sacri collegii camerariis Manu proprio olim perscribi so- 
lita. Dum postea scripta fuerit a diversis R mor Collegii Camerarior’ secretariis, 
et aliis, adeo ut non idem semper scribendi modus ubique servatus sit, neq’ 
eadem cura, quae fortasse rebus ipsis et collegio fuit necessaria, quamobrem

Et ita fieri mandavit. Quod ego Jo Franciscus Binus eiusdem S. Coll, ex

volume.
