Vatican Archives 
Arm. IX. 
The first volumes relate to the Congregation of Confines. There follows 
in the inventory the list of the Bolognetti collection, which is treated separately 
on page 91. 
Arm. X. 
This armadio formerly contained records from the Congregation of the Holy 
Office, of the Propaganda Fide, and of Rites. The greater portion of these 
volumes are now missing, having been for the most part, it seems, restored 
to the archives of the congregations whence they originated respectively. Of 
the volumes remaining, 112 and 113 were examined without result; 109 is 
the relation of the state of missions, by Cerri, so often found, 79 and no other 
seemed likely to be of interest. 
Arm. XI. 
The main feature of this armadio consists of the lives of the Popes. The 
only volumes which seemed likely to contain American material, 76 and 86A, 
were examined without result. 
Arm. XII. 
Numbers 1-104 contain diaries of the masters of ceremonies, covering the 
period 1463-1680. Numbers 100 and 101 are indexes. There formerly fol¬ 
lowed a rather large collection of consistorial acts, but the majority of these 
have been removed to the separate consistorial collection. Those which re¬ 
main and are of possible interest are the following: 
122 . Years 1517-1534. 
126 . Years 1566-1572. 
130 . Years 1628-1644. 
131 . Years 1644-1654. 
137 . Years 1632-1636. 
139 , 140 . Indexes. 
141 . Consistorial votes. 
There follow a few volumes relating to kindred subjects. Of these 
155 . “ Pro Sac. Cong. Consis* information, et Sac. Cong, de Prop. Fide De- 
creta super Provis. Concistorial.”, from the library of Ciampini, 
contains, fif. 85-94, references to the church of Lima and the subject 
of the taxes of coadjutors in the Western Indies. About 1628. 
Other volumes of possible interest are: 
150 - 153 . Tax books giving lists of churches. 
185 . Propositions of churches and petitions of bishops. 
Arm. XIII. 
Here is found a variety of consistorial material, including some from the 
Congregation of the Consistory; and some papers from the master of cere¬ 
monies. The following was found to be of interest: 
54 . “ Creationes Cardinalium et Episcoporum ab anno 1632 ad 1700.” Vol. 
2 contains indexes of churches, of monasteries, and of matters. Many 
notices of American churches. 
Of possible interest are: 
49 . “ Acta Diversa.” 
52 . “ Monasteria Consistorialia et Cameralia.”
