BIBLIOTECA BOLOGNETTI. 
Of the 347 volumes of this collection, 284 came from the library of Count 
Bolognetti Cenci, and passing through the hands of Mariano, 2 were incorpo¬ 
rated with the Vatican Archives in 1810. The unique and specially important 
manuscripts were collected by Cardinal Bolognetti, who died in 1756, after 
having served for many years on the Propaganda and other congregations. 
The volumes are listed in indice 136 , the Miscellanea of de Pretis, on folios 
40, 42-46, and 51, which are brought together between the lists for armadii 
IX. and X. Indice 142 contains a valuable, though not entirely reliable, index 
to the material in the 284 volumes originally belonging to Count Bolognetti. 
This collection includes many Dutch and English documents, all of which 
are copies; and much valuable material relating to the war of the Spanish 
Succession. 3 
By means of the inventory and index all volumes which seemed to promise 
any material relating to the subject were selected and examined. Of these, 
5 , 10 , 14 , 41 , 56 , 88, 101 , 106 , 107 , 115 , 130 , 134 , 141 , 154 , 158 , 166 , 167 , 171 ,
