SCRITTURE ORIGINALI RIFERITE NELLE CONGREGAZIONI GENERALI. 
These are the documents on which the decisions in the preceding Atti were 
based, in so far as such documents were not embodied in the Atti themselves. 
In most cases the original letters, etc., are found here, the report in the Atti 
being a summary from them, drawn up by the secretary or the cardinal to 
whom the matter was referred. In some cases these letters, however, repre¬ 
sent an intermediate stage, having been prepared by procurators on the basis 
of letters sent them, and which never became a part of this archive. This 
collection is divided into two parts, the scritture antiche, embracing those be¬ 
fore 1669, and the scritture c orris pondenti , extending from that date to the 
present. j
