Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern red leather label, with: ‘Pii ii. Offic. An. iii. iv. v. vi. Lib. ii,’ and on the bottom edge of the volume is the usual contemporary description, almost illegible, but apparently: ‘ii. Officiorum Pii. ii.’ Inside the volume is the front half of the original thick parchment binding, with the contemporary description:'secundus Officiorum.’ There are 20 pp. of Rubricelle, headed: ‘Jesus. Rubricelle libri Officiorum secundi incepti de mense Martii mcccclxi. pontificatus domini Pii pape secundi anno tertio,’ and ending: ‘Finis presentium Rubricellarum. Deo gratis.’ There are ff. i. to cclxv. + 266 of text, f. i. being headed: ‘Offitiorum iius . liber pape Pii ii. feliciter incipit mcccclxi. anno tercio.’
  • 2. i.e. without the usual subscription in the left-hand margin at the beginning. In its place, however, is Per cancellariam.
  • 3. An unusual title. His diocese is not mentioned.
  • 4. Johanni Hedyan archidiacono Cassellen. et Ossorien.
  • 5. baccalario formato.
  • 6. Cf. xxxx. above, f. 1d., which is the usual tax, and again f. 228 below.
  • 7. tam racione quarumcunque indulgenciarum sub quibusvis modis et formis quibusvis ecclesiis per nos concessarum, et presertim sancti Salvatoris civitatis Sanctiandree per cuius tercie partis emolumentorum reservacion(em?) adversus impiissimos christiani nominis hostes exponende te certo modo olim obligasti, ac sancte Trinitatis Sanctiandree diocesis ecclesiis sub simili reservacione nuper concessarum. The text does not seem to be clear.
  • 8. Volumus tamen et sub excommunicacionis pena quam incurras (sic) si contra feceris ac privacionis beneficiorum omnium que obtines tibi stricte precipiendo mandamus quod a die decima mensis Julii anni insequentis qua indulgencia ecclesie sancte Trinitatis predicte concessa celebrabitur ad menses octo omnino ad nos et curiam Romanam reddire (sic) debeas et tenearis, de exactis per te gestis ac recuperatis fidelem computum eidem camere et gentibus illius redditurus.
  • 9. The much less space occupied in the Register by this than by the preceding is chiefly due to its being in a much smaller hand.
