Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Rare Book & Manuscript Library Ms. Codex 595 2486551 http://hdl.library.upenn.edu/1017/d/medren/2486551 Collection of three texts dealing with disputes over jurisdiction between the Kingdom of Naples and the Inquisition in the second half of the seventeenth century. The first, by Pietro de Fusco, appears to be directed to the Spanish/imperial crown and presents arguments for keeping the Holy Office out of Naples. The second is addressed to the Duke of Alba and is a defense of Naples' historic right to keep the Holy Office under the control of the Viceroy, citing legal precedents from the Neapolitan archives, mostly from the second half of the sixteenth century. The third text, signed Giacinto de Mari[o?], appears to be a response to de Fusco, disputing his interpretation of the legal precedents.
