ff. 1r-34v Unpublished collection of 171 clarifications on the Council of
Trent (arranged by the diocese to which they apply), with some references to
the pontificate of Gregory XIII (1572-85); supplements MS 366. Title, f. 1r:
"Elucidationes factae super Concilio Tridentino per Illustrissimos et
Reverendissimos eius Interpraetes ad Instantiam diuersorum Episcoporum et
aliorum Praelatorum secundum ordinem sessionum positae."

     Paper (watermarks: unidentified bird with the letter A [?] above head),
ff. 34 (foliated 107-140, in the same hand as did MS 366), 195 x 138 (ca. 180 x
80) mm. Written in 17-20 long lines, no ruling visible. 
     I^^10, II-III^^12. Catchwords on verso near gutter, partially trimmed.
     Written by several hands in italic.
     Disbound.

Written in Italy, soon after the Council of Trent (1545-63), but not
before 1572, the beginning of the reign of Gregory XIII; probably
produced at the same time as MS 366. Separated from Beinecke MS 366 before
that book received its present binding. Notes of s. xvii [?] in margins
are similar to those in MS 366. Purchased from G. Strand's Antiquariat of
Copenhagen by Richard H. Pachella; his gift to Yale in 1972.
