SCRITTURE CORRISPONDENTI. 
The date of the congregation, and the number of the subject, as given in the 
Atti, is always sufficient reference to this series, and it was not, therefore, ex¬ 
amined in detail. In some cases there are found almost no documents, in others 
many. Their character may be gathered from those of the earlier collection 
just listed. This collection runs from 1669 to the present day, and contains 
over a thousand volumes. 
SCRITTURE RIFERITE NEI CONGRESSI; 
OR SCRITTURE NON RlFERITE. 
These are documents not referred to the general congregation, but consid¬ 
ered and acted upon by the secretary and cardinal prefect. They include mat¬ 
ters of routine, and, as the policy of the Congregation became more and more 
established, matters of greater and greater importance. The question of refer¬ 
ence depended more on the intricacy of the subject than its intrinsic signifi¬ 
cance, and consequently this series often contains matter of great value. The 
action taken is often endorsed on the documents. References are made to all 
the material in these volumes that seemed relevant. The material is arranged 
geographically in this series.
