Fondo Consalvi, ca. 1755-1823.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145569625

This is a collection of papers of Secretary of State Cardinal Ercole Consalvi, who was later (1824) prefect of the Congregation de Propaganda Fide. According to Kowalsky-Metzler, the collection includes documents concerning the Consalvi family history, the literary activity of the cardinal, and some of his activities in the Roman Curia. The curial records concern the Rota, the Concilio, the Tribunale della Segnatura di Giustizia, S. Offizio, Lauretana, and the Propaganda Fide. There is information about land holdings, income, and bequests, as well as information on music, poetry, agriculture, public administration, and legal proceedings (civil and criminal). The final busta, which is not listed in the index described below, contains printed materials. The books and pamphlets are largely eighteenth- and nineteenth-century religious devotional literature. The other part of the busta is comprised of secular newspapers, principally the Journal de l'empire, 1813-1814. The most interesting items in this busta, however, are at the end. These are two indexes to the library of Cardinal Consalvi entitled "Indice de Libri che compongono la Libreria dell. Eminenti e Rmo. Signor Cardinal Consalvi divisa nelle Seguenti Materie, cioe = Istorici Sacri, Profani ... Rettorici ... Poetici Italiani e Latini ... Teologi ... Filosofi, Fisici, e Mattematici ...

The Congregation of the Holy Office was, until 1908, called the Congregatio Romanae et Universalis Inquisitionis seu Sancti Officii. The primary function of this congregation was to assist the pope in his task of preserving the integrity of the church doctrine on faith and morals, although the manner of operation has varied over the centuries. The earliest traces of the Church's concern for preserving this integrity can be found in Lucius III's constitution Ad abolendam ...

From the earliest days of the Church judicial problems and reserved cases were referred to Rome for solution. By the end of the twelfth century this continual and ever-increasing flood of requests became too burdensome for the Consistory of Cardinals. The popes, therefore, began to refer cases to members of the papal household who were called cappellani papae. This group, which was dependent on the Apostolic Chancery (ID VATV032-A), seems to be the antecedent, if not the origin of t...
