DANDINI. 
This collection or archivio of six volumes was secured by Leo XIII. from 
the Conte Dandini de Cesena. 9 Its most important contents are two volumes 
of original letters to legates and nuncios, during the pontificate of Paul III. 
(1534-1549), and of Gregory XIII. (1572-1585). The special permission 
of the director of the archives is required for its use, and, the death of Mgr. 
Wenzel intervening, no volumes were examined. 
CARTE FARNESIANE. 
This collection of seven bundles was acquired in 1893. Each bundle con¬ 
tains a mixed mass of letters and despatches. 10 There is much nunciature 
material for the Farnese period, relating chiefly to the councils of Bologna and 
of Trent. 11 None of the material was examined. 
GARAMPI COLLECTION. 
The Garampi collection originally consisted of 251 volumes, but many are 
now lacking or have been transferred to other places. It is inventoried in 
indice 157 , “ Elenco delle Carte delle Ch: Me: del Cardinale Garampi ”, which 
is unusually good, but has not been brought up to date. It was left to the 
Archivio by Cardinal Garampi, the prefect, and contains the greater portion 
of his private library of manuscripts collected during his various diplomatic 
missions to Poland, and the various courts of Germany. Much of his corre¬ 
spondence while resident in these capitals is found here. References to the 
American material follow: 
6. Unbound papers in paste-board covers.
