Archivio Boncompagni, 871-ca. 1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145570018

This is a family archive of wide ranging and facinating variety. Some buste contain pergamene originals and copies that are quite ancient, for example, busta 270 with "Scritture diplomatiche del Monastero di S. Maria in Elce" dating from 871 to 1192; and busta 272, "Bolle e Breve Pontifici riguardanti il Monastero di S. Maria in Elce," from the years 1102-1603. Some of the pergamene documents have been removed from their buste and are archived separately in the internal Sala dei Pergamene.
