Fondo Albani, ca. 1500-1721.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145568963

The collection is miscellaneous, but appears carefully ordered according to themes or subjects, which relate to the activities, projects, interests, or political vision of Clement XI. Most of the material dates from the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century (ca. 1690-1720). Collected here are various kinds of documents: avvisi, apostolic visits, bandi, memoriali, even entire books bound into the present volumes. Albani 3 is dedicated to Rome and the regulation of public mores. Albani 56 ff. 305-453 is a very nice collection of letters written in a lively diarist's style, demonstrating a special interest on the part of the writer in religious events, cult and ceremonies in Naples (e.g. processions of holy blood, heretics etc.). Folios 465ff make up a small dossier regarding baptism of infidels or catecumeni. The entire volume appears to be a rich source for religious and political events in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Naples. Albani 224-264 are dedicated to "Indie Orientali e Cina," and are followed by volumes dedicated to Africa and America. Albani 259 is a miscellany concerning China; 264 contains works by the famous Jesuit missionary to China, Matteo Ricci.
