6230 . Letters to the nuncio in Spain. 1644. 
6235 . Letters to nuncios extraordinary. 1628-1632. 
6338 - 6435 . A collection of news-letters from Rome, Venice, Paris, Ant¬ 
werp, and other cities, extending from 1601 to 1760. 
6438 - 6440 . Letters and minutes of letters of Urban VIII. (1623-1644). 
There are also interspersed with the numbers cited from 5800 to 6559 many 
volumes of correspondence between Cardinal Barberini and princes, bishops, 
and individuals. 
From this point the volumes are classed by countries, and the volume of 
the inventory is noted. 
6792-6829 (vol. 25). These numbers relate to Flanders. There are some 
volumes of news-letters, and practically all the nuntiature material. 
1608-1674. 
7938-8261 (vol. 30). These numbers relate to France. Practically all the 
correspondence with the kings, princes, bishops, and nuncios, from 
the reign of Henry IV. through the first half of the seventeenth cen¬ 
tury, is found here. 
8262-8612 (vol. 31). These numbers relate to Spain and Portugal, which 
were united during most of this period. In addition to the corre¬ 
spondence with royal persons, bishops, and nuncios, most of which 
is found in the regular series of letters of the secretary of state, 
there is much with minor papal officials, which I have not found else¬ 
where. Many of these were examined and are noted above. The 
others follow: 
8508 . Letters from the secretary of the Apostolic Camera. 
8511 . “ Collectoria.” 1608-1644. 
8520 - 8521 . Letters from the fiscal of the collector. 1606-1609, 1636- 
1641. 
8517 - 8519 . Letters from the auditor of the nuncio. 1637-1642. 
8526 . Letters from the secretarv of the nuncio. 1621-1622. 
m' 
8527 . Letters from auditors. 1621-1622. 
8573 - 8583 . Letters from bishops, among which, in 8577 , is a letter from 
the Bishop of Mechoacan, Mar. 22, 1622, and from the Archbishop 
of Mexico, Mar. 8, 1627. 
8614-8773 (vol. 32). These volumes relate to England. All of these 
likely to contain material were examined except the following: 
8671 - 8672 . News-letters from London. 1626-1641. 
The remaining volumes relate to the pontifical states. 
BORGIA COLLECTION. 
This collection was formerly in the Museo Borgia, in the palace of the 
Propaganda. It is maintained at the Vatican as a separate unit. There is a 
provisional inventory, which seems to be incomplete, and is without number, 
among the Vatican indices. 
Numbers 32 , 45 , 47 , 49 , 50 , 62 , 70 , 77 , and 99 were examined without 
result. Number 65 , “ Scritti appartenenti alia S. C. di Prop. Fide”, 1708- 
1711, was at the bindery. Of possible interest is the following: 
66 . “ Episcoporum: Breve Compendio di Decreti et Ordini fatti dalla 
Sac. Cong ne dei Vescovi, 1604-1644” (actually 1653). This con¬ 
tains many originals and descriptions of sources, and a subject- 
index, but time did not suffice to complete its examination. 
71 . Second volume of the above, covering the same years.
