LETTERE DELLA SACRA CONGREGAZIONE. 76 
These letter-books are divided into two series. The first fifty-three volumes 
cover the period down to 1669, corresponding to the Scrittnre Antiche. The 
second is a regular series, with one volume or two for each year, the letters of 
each year being arranged by the provinces to which they were directed and 
those of each province chronologically. There is also united with each volume 
of the letters of the Congregation a number of letters of the secretary of the 
Congregation. The material in these volumes is not listed here, as it is ex¬ 
tremely well indexed, and letters were seldom sent except as a result of action 
in the Congregation or by the prefect and secretary, and therefore references 
given to the Atti and the Scritture Riferite serve as a rough index to the let- 
. 75 There are other volumes in this series of “ Scritture riferite nei Congressi, Mis¬ 
sioni ”, but only seven, extending to 1799, were examined. The material relates for the 
most part to persons desiring to go on missions. 
These letter-books have been used by Father Hughes in his History of the Society 
of Jesus, Docs., vol. I., pt. 1., pp. 149, 183, 185.
