Miscellanea, [ca. 1476-1892].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145569623

According to Kowalsky and Metzler, this series is composed of volumes from a variety of sources. The contents are not in any particular order, but they contain a large number of documents that would be very difficult to classify. "There are, for example, the protocol minutes of sessions of the Congregation; reports of a variety of content and composition; a variety of papers gathered here either because it did not seem useful to arrange them in the Archives or because it could not be decided in which collection they belonged; papers which had belonged to private persons and which are sometimes of a literary nature; diaries and reports of journeys, etc." (p. 71).
