Summary
Three treatises on the Pope and the Papal Court, in Italian:
Fol. iii. 'Ordini e Leggi che s'osseruano nell' elezione del Sommo Pontefice e da' Cardinali in conclaue nell' eleggerlo, e le Cirimonie che si fanno subito eletto, e de' suoi uestimenti': beg. 'Che tal' elezione si faccia in luogo idoneo'.
Fol. xviii. 'Trattato delle Cirimonie, che s' osservano nel dar l' abito a' Caualieri della Sacra Religione di San Giouanni Hierosolimitano': beg. 'Benedizione della spada. Prima che la Messa si dica'.
Fol. 1. 'Del Palazzo del Papa, e de' sua (sic) seruidori: e di tutti gli ofizi e tribunali di Roma': beg. 'In referire a V. A. S. lo stato della Corte di Roma'.
The mention of Paul V (1605-21) as the reigning pope supplies a date for the treatises (fol. 8v).
