These are records of the tribunal of the Fabbrica and are for the most part juridical. They pertain to dispensations, mitigations, and obligations under various wills and bequests to make pious donations not necessarily to the Fabbrica. The tribunal was empowered to adjucate bequests or cancel them as circumstances required. For example, suppose there was a building with chapel built by bequest with instructions that Mass be said for a certain purpose in the chapel in perpetuity. Then for some reason someone wanted the building torn down. The courts of the Fabbrica would have jurisdiction for a petition cancelling the perpetual Mass requirement and perhaps substituting another.

8 linear m. (78 v.)
