Summary

A manual of procedure for inquisitors preparing a denunciation before the Roman inquisition, aimed chiefly at promoting a more careful initial presentation of the evidence, with sample passages of interrogation and testimony from a 1678 case of swearing during a game of chance in Fermo (Italian text with Latin citations of legal and doctrinal documents). The second item appears to be similar to the text in UPenn Ms. Codex 575, organized in 25 chapters on inquisitional procedure and various categories of crime, with a particularly long chapter on the special problems of convents, including libidinous confessors, "womanly rivalries" leading to frivolous denunciations, and "lightness of brain" leading to visions and voices.
