Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern description in Latin: ‘1460. An. iii. Pius ii.’ There is no contemporary flyleaf, but the usual partly illegible contemporary description occurs on the bottom edge of the volume: ‘Primus de prebendis, de exemptionibus [curialium], de curia, de litteris dominorum cardinalium, [de] provisionibus prelatorum, [de] tabellionatus officio et plenaria [remissione] anno (? annis) secundo et iii. domini nostri domini Pii pape secundi.’ This description is only legible with the help of the headings of the various quires in the volume. The first quire in the volume was evidently headed ‘de prebendis vacantibus.’ The quire which begins on f. 76 is headed ‘de exemptionibus curialium anno (sic) ii et iii,’ i.e. exemptions of members of the papal court (e.g. abbreviatores and scriptores) from the jurisdiction of their ordinaries, in virtue of Clement VI's bull of exemption ‘Ad perp.rei mem. Dudum felicis recordacionis Johannes pape xxii.’ Fol. 100 is headed ‘De curia [anno] iiio’; f. 122 ‘[De] litteris domino[rum] cardinalium [anno] iii.’; f. 140 has ‘de provisionibus prel torum [anno] iiio’; f. 160 has ‘de tabellionatus officie [anno] iii'; f. 214 has ‘de plenaria [remissione anno] 3o domini Piii’ (sic) and this heading embraces the contents of the rest of the volume, including indults of portable altars etc. The text of the volume extends from [i.] to f. cccxvii., of which the first two are mere fragments. Mgr. Wenzel's numeration note does not occur.
  • 2. On f. 223 is an indult Devotionis tue, i.e. an indult of plenary remission, dated at St. Peter's, Rome, 1461, 12 Kal. June anno 3, to John Bernal, a Friar Minor, whose diocese is not mentioned.
  • 3. Here and in other following cases the amount of the tax is not enclosed within the name of P. de Varris.
  • 4. On f. 263d. is an indult for John Benedicti, nobleman, and his wife Joan, and for each of them, under date 1461, 6 Non. May anno 3, to have a portable altar. Their diocese is not mentioned.
  • 5. On f. 276d. is an indult of plenary remission to William Gouen, an Augustinian friar, without mention of his diocese, dated 1461, 3 Non. July anno 3.
