1215 (S-6-7). This is the first of a series of volumes written to nuncios by 
Porfirio Feliciano, secretary to Cardinal Borghese during the pontifi¬ 
cate of Paul V. All volumes of possible interest to American history 
were examined, here, or in the Nunziature, but this pontificate was 
little interested in American affairs and the only items found are 
those referred to in the following notes and those already given in 
the volumes of the Nunziature examined. 
1218 (S-6-10). f. 205. Dec. 13, 1610. To the nuncio in Spain, requesting 
information concerning the Indies.
