Summary

First-person diary of the ceremonies and events in the Vatican during portions of the reigns of Popes Pius IV, Pius V and Gregory XIII, covering the years 1565-1573, by Ludovicus Bondonus de Branchis (p. 1-466). The author provides an almost day-by-day account of the events, ceremonies and functions of which he was in charge, from the death of Pius IV to the beginning of the pontificate of Gregory XIII. An index (p. 473-506), complete only through the letter T, ends in the middle of that section, at the end of quire 24. Also includes, probably by the same author, Supplicationes et misse pro liberatione Christianorum pro bello Turcarum contra Imperatorem (p. 507-512); and Supplicationes pro bello Ugonoctarum contra Regem Francie (p. 512-546).
