Elemosinarum, 1801-1821.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145567381

This series begins in January 1801, the first year of the pontificate of Pius VII, and records alms either received in the hand of the recipient in person or attested with the recipient's signature. "I received from [person's name] 6 scudi as from the list on this day [name of recipient]." The money passed through the pro-datarius, though his role in distributing alms is not clear.
