APPENDIX,<br />

PRELIMINARY NOTICE.<br />

<strong>The</strong> following documents are intended to confirm and complete<br />

<strong>the</strong> text <strong>of</strong> my book ; it has formed no part <strong>of</strong> my plan to<br />

provide a true and full collection <strong>of</strong> documents. In every<br />

case <strong>the</strong> place where <strong>the</strong> document was found is given with <strong>the</strong><br />

greatest possible exactitude. As far as <strong>the</strong> text is concerned,<br />

I have, as a rule, preserved intact <strong>the</strong> wording <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> documents<br />

or letters, which for <strong>the</strong> most part I have had before<br />

me in <strong>the</strong> original ; <strong>the</strong>re is no need for me to justify <strong>the</strong><br />

changes I have made in <strong>the</strong> matter <strong>of</strong> capital letters and<br />

punctuation. Where I have ventured on alterations I have<br />

always noted <strong>the</strong> fact, though small mistakes and obvious<br />

copyist's errors have not been specially noted. <strong>The</strong> additions<br />

which I have made are en<strong>close</strong>d in square brackets, while<br />

unintelligible or doubtful pass<strong>ages</strong> are marked by a note <strong>of</strong><br />

interrogation or by <strong>the</strong> word " sic." Those pass<strong>ages</strong> which<br />

I have omitted, ei<strong>the</strong>r when copying <strong>the</strong> documents or in<br />

preparing <strong>the</strong>m for <strong>the</strong> Press, and which were not essential or<br />

or unnecessary to my purpose, are marked by dots (. . .).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Munich codex Clm 152, "Onuphrii Panvinii Veronensis<br />

fratri Eremitae Augustiniani De varia Romani Pontificis<br />

creatione liber lo," reproduces, p.302b-385, completely <strong>the</strong><br />

schedules <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ballots (i to 68) in <strong>the</strong> conclave <strong>of</strong> Pius IV. ;<br />

each scrutiny gives about 45 schedules, and each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se,<br />

during <strong>the</strong> earlier part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> conclave contains for <strong>the</strong> most<br />

part <strong>the</strong> names <strong>of</strong> <strong>from</strong> 3 to 4 Cardinals, later on <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

usually <strong>from</strong> 5 to 6, and after that <strong>from</strong> 7 to 9 names. To<br />

reprint <strong>the</strong> whole <strong>of</strong> this multitude <strong>of</strong> names—<strong>the</strong>re are 132<br />

folio p<strong>ages</strong>— ^would be useless ; moreover, it would not be<br />
