Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Luigi Da Palermo. He has been named vicar apostolic of Tunis, and vicar general of Carthage by Gio' Le Vascier [Jean Le Vascer]. During the year, he has written letters but had not recieved any answeres. He travelled to Christendom for urgent matters that could not wait, and did not realise that he had to ask permission to return to the Christian world. He has been deprived of his active and passive voice, and because he would like to go back to his provicariate, he asks PF to grant him clemecy. The Capuchin provicar general deems it right to grant Luigi clemency.

An account of the resource
Defense of Luigi Da Palermo, and the reasons why he had to travel to Palermo: a) to protect and control the ransoming of slaves in his native Palermo, as one can obtain in a letter sent to PF. He also had to bring the safe conducts from the customs to Palermo; b) to bring Filippo Brescia, a doctor who spontaneously went to Tunis to convert, safely back into Christendom. He also brought back with him to Palermo two Spanish slaves (ransomed fro 400 piastre), and he asks the viceroy for 250 piastre that he had previously lent the chruch of Tunis; and c) he felt obliged to go to Rome himself, because he never received an answer from the letters that he wrote for an entire year to Gio' le Vascier [Jean Le Vacher] and PF. The letters were about the children and women that were about to lose their faith.

An account of the resource
Letter from Giovanni Battista Garbi to PF. The slave Gian Battista Garbi, who used to work in the service of Abbot Carlo Grapi in the court of his Eminence in Poland, threw himself at his knees before his Emminence. He begged his Eminence for some alms, in order to help him out of the infernal pains that he is suffering in slavery. His master is mistreating him, in order to make him a renegade of the faith of Christ, or to ransom himself. He is however not able to buy his own freedom, because his master asks for 400 scudi. For this reason he asks the viceroy and the mother of his eminence, to give him some alms to help his ransom. Garbi asks the nuncio to Spain to recommend him to the redemption Fathers, who come to Algiers to ransom slaves; they ask him to write down his name, Gian Battista Garbi Omperial, who is a slave in the baths of the Divan.

Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Luigi Da Palermo to PF. Luigi Da Palermo has (previously in a long letter) explained himself, and now humbly returns to PF. He was made slave by Corsairs of Algiers, who was operating under the French flag. During a year in slavery he suffered a lot. He postponed his liberty for his companion, who was freed by the redemption priests from Spain. In Algiers, he worked day and night for the well-being of the poor Christian souls. Two heretics converted to Christianity because of his persuasion. A Dominican, who had fled to Oran (leaving his wife and children behind), converted himself. The patron of the bagno, offering many treasures, wanted him to convert, and also offered one of his daughters as wife. In the coming year, the French army arrived to negotiate peace. In this time, Da Palermo went to this patron, explaining his disgraceful situation, and asking for his liberty. This was agreed upon, and Da Palermo offered to work for the Christians in Barbary. Consequently he was appointed vicar apostolic and vicar general of Carthage by Gio' LeVascier [Jean Le Vacher], and this was also approved by PF. Upon arriving in Tunis he united and pacified the place, as can be understood from many accounts found in the letter sent to PF by the most important Christians in Tunis. Sent by PF, Marcello Costa has also recently arrived in Tunis as missionary. Two heretics wanted to convert to Catholicism, and whilst discussing the Holy faith with him, a Moor named Gerbino told Da Palermo told him that he wanted to become Christian; Da Palermo told him to go to Malta, and six other Moors converted to Christianity. Two obstinate Christians confessed to Da Palermo, that for years they did not live in good will. The following night, one killed the other with a knife. The murderer was sentenced to death. Many Christians ware amazed by Da Bologna, which was the reason that they lived more prudently. He paid 15 piastre for the burial of the body of the murderer, who had been stoned to death before. With great effort Da Palermo was able to baptize a child of a Christian slave, that she bore from her patron. Two months later the child died. Two Christian slaves had bought two Greek women and for a long time they treated them badly. Da Palermo made sure that they married them, and that they converted to Catholicism. Da Palermo made sure that the Dey, and others in Tunis would no longer destroy the churches. He told renegades that they knew what to do for eternal salvation, and the renegades promised to flee to Christianity. Da Palermo wrote their names down and promised them mild penance in Christendom. Da Palermo told the French consul, Gio' Ambrosini [Jean Ambrozin] that he could not just usurp the goods of the church. Le Vacher was given the order to investigate six complaints against Ambrozin. Le Vacher ordered Da Palermo to conduct the investigation, and Ambrozin yelled so loud that Da Palermo was forced to leave the case. A mother with two old spinsters from Corsica were made slaves. Da Palermo brought the missionaries together to pray to God to free these women. He entrusted their case to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. While Da Palermo was in Palermo, the Grand Duke gave 1,000 scudi to ransom all three. Filippo Brescia (a doctor in law from Trapane in Sicily), arrived in Tunis to convert to Islam. Da Palermo found him and brought him back to Christianity and went with him back to Christendom. There were also two free Christians, who had no money and could not pay for their return in Christendom. Da Palermo collected 60 piastre to make sure they could return home.
Da Palermo used to travel to where the bodies of St. Perpetua and St. Felicitas were, and thought to use 280 piastre that he had gained from giving alms. He was forced however to use the sum for the liberation of two young Spaniards, who were forced by their masters to convert. One of them had 200 piastre. Da Palermo brought in his 280, and the other 400 was lent from merchants. When Da Palermo left, they asked him to restitute the money. Da Palermo had received 200 piastre from the Bagno of Saint Francis. They were meant to buy vestments but Da Palermo gave them to the merchants. He also took 50 piastre from the bagnos of S. Lucy and S. Leonardo. He freed five Christians, and entrusted the two Spaniards to the viceroy of Sicily, asking him to pay back these churches. The viceroy promised to refund them, but when the troubles started in Messina, this was no longer possible. Da Palermo went to Rome to present the problems of the church to PF, but from there he was sent back to Palermo. It has been six years since Da Palermo has taken the money from the church, and he has been persecuted as a thief. In Palermo a complaint has been made in Spanish by Luis de Loyo (conservator of the royal patrimony in Sicily) on the 200 piastre of Pietro di Salorsano. Luigi Da Palermo does not ask anything for his works, but if he appears to be guilty, he should be punished; if he is innocent, it is not right that he is suffering. If he asks to return to the lands where his life is at risk every hour, he does this because he wishes to serve. Therefore PF should either decide to satisfy the churches, or the other one in Sicily.
Additional comments
The letter is undated, but Luigi Da Palermo left Tunis in 1671; which according to the letter was six years ago. That is why it should be dated around 1677.

An account of the resource
In PF meeting of 23 July 1674, it was decided to raise the provision of the schoolmasters to 50 scudi a year. In the latest dispatch to Scotland however, the schoolmasters received 30 scudi (as they had been granted before the raise). In response, they ask PF to grant them the higher provision. PF secretary [Urbano Cerri] states that they decided to raise the provision to make sure that the schoolmaster would not ask their students to contribute financially; the students financial contributions to the mission would mean that the students would not be able to go to school.

Description
An account of the resource
Because the republic of Venice has been very compassionate about her subjects that have been kept as slaves in Barbaria, she has decided to ransom some of them; this is why Venice wants to send Capuchins from her lands to these regions. For this reason Venice asks PF to grant Capuchins from Venice the right to settle in Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli as missionaries, not only to ransom the slaves, but also to help them in their religious needs. They ask PF to send the Capuchins to Barbaria, and to give them the same priviliges, faculties, and provision as other missionaries. PF decides not to grant the Venetian Capuchins the licenses, and instructs those who really want the faculties to contact the prefect of the mission.

Letter from Pallavicino to PF Prefect. There has been some uproar in Barbaria, because of the voluntary conversion of two girls to Christianity. Because of the orders given to him by PF on 14 July 1672, he has informed PF about the situation in a letter dated 24 August. Now the woman (who has been taken slave for the second time), has returned, he has been able to talk to her. After many conversations she was willing to convert herself to Christianity, though she still had to return to Tunis to collect her ransom of 400 "di q'ta m'ta di rame." Whilst she wanted to live with her daughters in Malta but in freedom, Pallavicino is afraid that she will not keep her word.

An account of the resource
Letter from Alex're Vinsteri [Alexander Winster] to PF. The letter from PF dated 23 August was not only a consolation letter to him and the missionaries, but also to the areas Catholics. They chose children that are sent to the colleges abroad with care. The missionaries do not only work in the parishes of 'Galovicha' [Galloway?], but also in Edinburgh and others. There are more missionaries needed, especially in the highlands there are very few. There are even more subjects than missionaries? There is a total of six chalices and six casulas for six complete chapels. There is one for Marc' Macdanel [Mark MacDonell], one for Ro' Monro [Robert Monro], one for Joanis Irvin Debeltre [John Irvin "Beltry"], another one for Alex Irvinus [Alexander Irvin], one for David Burnett and finally there is one close to Scotiae superiores to be used by missionaries who are staying there. For years the missionaries have been looking for students for the colleges. He would rather not see that there would come a bishop to Scotland to administer the sacraments of the confirmation. It would be very hard for him to reach Scotland. Moreover, it could create an uproar and renew the persecution. Regular as wel as secular priests should be send to the mission. He told Franciscum LeBlanc [Francis White] to send two priests to the Scottish Highlands. The laws in England are harder for Catholics than in Scotland. They have made a lot of progress, especially in the northern Scotland and in particular on the Hebrides. This is the work of Francis White, Francis MacDonell and Robert Monro. In some parishes of 600 people there are only 10 or 20 protestants left. The protestant preachers hardly ever come to this northern regions. Davidis Burnetti [David Burnet] is working in the areas of marquess Huntly and the amount of Catholics has risen significantly. David Burnet needs to recover in France. Barclaio [Robert Barclay] will be very happy to receive him in the Scottish college, where he can help the youth in their education. Winster hopes that Georgium Gordon [George Gordon], who is currently studying in the Scottish college in Paris, will be able to take his place. John Irvin "Beltry" has been in the mission for eight years in Marr and Aberdeen and would like to get permission to retreit to a benedictine monastery in Germany. Alexander Irvin is staying somewhere in Tiotdale a place where many puritans live. Later he went to Mercia and Edinburgh. Georgius Innes has been working in Galloway for a year. Unfortunately, his parents have not given him any provision. That is why Winster asks PF to give it to him. Sometimes Innes also needs to work in Edinburgh, Angus or in the region of the marquess Huntley. They want to send one missionary to each diocese, but there are fourteen dioceses and only nine missionaries, and three of them are on the islands where more than five missionaries would be needed since there are more than 4.000 Catholics. In the area of marquess Huntly more than two missionaries are needed. The children from southern Scotland cannot go to the school in the Highlands, which is very far away and the language and customs are very different. The school is very usefull though in forming the children and learning them some doctrine. Winster also asks to send a visitation to the mission in Scotland.

Letter from Alexander Leslaeus [Alexander Lesley] to PF. It has been three years since he went to Scotland to work for the mission. He certainly made progress, especially in Banff [Bamffensi], Aberdeen, Mernensi? [Nairn?] and Angus. In these places there are many Catholics, and many also converted to Catholicism. Unfortunately, however, it has not been possible to acquire lodging in the houses of Catholics. As required under his duty, Lesley has been writing often to PF. At the end of July his faculties expire and he asks PF to renew them.

Letter from Robert Monro to PF. He writes from the mountains areas of Scotland. He states that should there be more missionaries who speak Gaelic in the area, it would be much easier to convert people to Catholicism. The children from poor parents require travelling money, in order to be able to attend the Scottish Colleges abroad. All the missionaries except for himself are foreigners, and the country that once flourished has now fallen to heresy.

An account of the resource
Letter from Carlo D'Ancona to [PF Secretary]. After staying for a long time in Malta he finally arrived in Tunis. There he received the patents of provicar apostolic from Jean Le Vacher. He sends a copy of the patents with the letter. There are five priests in Tunis, one of them is Marcello Costa, who had been provicar before D'Ancona's arrival. The other four are slaves and are not that skilled. To cause no trouble he left them in possession of the bagnos. However they now want the income from the bagnos to regain their liberty, whilst hurting the poor slaves. D'Ancona is sure that should PF decide to restrict the service in the bagnos to priests with patents, things would go a lot better. One of these Maltese slave priests is celebrating mass in the Bagno di S. Croce, and wants to take care of other bagnos as well. D'Ancona wants to know if he needs to take the cure of the bagno out of his hands, or if he should keep it as it is. D'Ancona also asks PF for the confirmation of the patents that he received from Jean Le Vacher.

An account of the resource
Letter from Marcello Costa to PF prefect. In a letter from 30 September 1673 PF asked him to help two Tinitarians, Francesco Arendieta and Francesco Ruiz; they are still in Tabarca, but will need to be supported once they arrive. On 5 March two Capuchins arrived, Carlo D'Ancona and Vincenzo Da Frascati. The first has become provicar apostolic of Tunis. Costa himself also undertakes many missions because the two brothers mentioned above, are not able to ride on horseback, and are also not familar with the countryside. Levacher [Jean Le Vacher] has given Costa the patents for the provicariate of Bizerte, which began last October for the duration of three years. He asks PF to send him a confirmation of this position, and sends a copy of his patents to PF. PF granted Costa an annual provision of 24 scudi which is ending in August; this is why he asks PF to prolong the provision for five years. He needs the money for his living, but also for a man who assists him in his work. Besides the expenses for horses, he is also very sorry that he did not buy a habit for himself. He did not slow down his work once the other brothers arrived, as there are still many missions to do. Serving in the bagnos is a pleasant activity, but travelling on horseback for 50 or 60 miles through harsh conditions is the harder and realer part of the mission; he risks his life travelling around, and is forced to sleep on the ground between the animals.

Description
An account of the resource
Summary of a letter sent by the Trinitarian Procurator General [Domenico Jafurt], about the case of Bartolomeo Da Serrano. Among other issues, PF discussed the matters concerning Le Vacher and Bartolomeo Da Serrano several times on 11 January. Da Serrano was sent from a Trinitarian house in Spain to Tunis to take care of the hospitals. The problem is that he does not accept the authority of the vicar apostolic, and that he administers the sacraments without a licence. PF praises Le Vacher because he first warned Da Serrano not to administer the sacraments, and only later threathened with interdiction. PF also wrote to the Trinitarian general and asked to let their priests obey the vicar apostolic, and to call Da Serrano back. However, he thought that he was not obliged to listen to the vicar apostolic, and in collaboration with his superior he wrote a letter to PF, stating the following: a) on 6 November 1671 Le Vacher told Da Serrano that he could not give absolution, though he could do this according to the rights granted to his order; b) he forced a companion of Da Serrano (Gio' Marcos), to accept ill lutherans in the hospital, when it would have been better to keep the wolfs seperate from the lambs; c) on 19 March Le Vacher told Da Serrano that he wanted to sing mass in his chapel, when Da Serrano objected Le Vacher threatened to suspend him from the administration of the sacraments; d) on 24 May whilst they were celebrating mass in the chapel of the bagno of the king, Le Vacher removed a crucifix that Da Serrano placed there four months earlier, because he believed they should place something of S. Louis, the French king. After this he supsended Da Serrano from administering the sacraments. He told the Turks that Da Serrano wanted to create a revolt for which he was incarcerated; e) Le Vacher used the Franch consul [Jean Armond Dubordieu], and the Turkish tribunals to press charges against Da Serrano; f) Le Vacher forbade all priests to administer the sacraments in the bagno of S. Gioseppe, and he offered this bagno for 800 pezze as a resident for merchants. He blocked the four reali that each French ship had to pay to the hospital; g) Le Vacher placed a Portuguese priest in the hospital to administer the sacraments and take alms from the sick. After a conflict he forbade the priests to celebrate mass in the hopsital; h) on 28 May the companion of Da Serrano was forbidden to collect money for the ill; i) on that day Da Serrano was also taken from the hospital to the governor, where he complained that he had not done anything wrong; j) when he arrived home he received a order from Le Vacher, not to administer the sacrements outside the chapel of S. Gioseppe; k) all the things written above are absolutely true, one could check it by contacting the mentioned people. That is why the General [Domenico Jafurt] concludes that the charges against Da Serrano are motivated by hate and not by zeal. PF decides to write to the Trinitarian Superior and to the nuncio to Spain, and request that Da Serrano should be recalled.

Petition on behalf of Domenico Jafurt, Trinitarian procurator general. From the letters sent by [Bartolomeo Da] Serrano, one can understand that things are described very differently, than how the Vicar General of Carthage [Jean Le Vacher] presents them; its believed that the charges pressed against Da Serrano are motivated by hate, and not by zeal. That is why Da Serrano sent his writings ( which were also confirmed by testimonies) to PF. They want PF to do something about the scandals that have happen especially against the hospital, and they are protected by the Spanish king and the Trinitarians. The vicar of Carthage [Jean Le Vacher] and the consul [Jean-Armamd Dubordieu] are both French, and are believed to be working together against Da Serrano.

Letter from Alexander Winster to [PF]. He has received the order to recall Gilbertu' Graium [Gilberty Gray] from the mission, but he has not yet been able to do this; he needs money in order to cover Gray's travelling expenses. He also needs a refund for the traveling money that he already gave to Alexandro Burnetto [Alexander Burnet]. He has heard that some students travel from one College to the other. Its noted that they spend their time traveling instead of studying, and that the Colleges also receive them without any letters of reccomendation; that is why he asks PF not to accept any students in the Colleges without these letters. As future missionaries, the students are the future of the mission. Altogether there are not more than eight missionaries and one schoolmaster; Gray has had his faculties revoked. Three of the missionaries are Franc' Blanc' [Francis White], Fran' Macdonal [Francis Mcdonnel] and Robert' Monro, who along with the schoolmaster work in the mountain areas. They would actually need six priests there, since there are 4,000 Christians. David Burnett' works in the lower areas, usually in Buchan and sometimes also in 'Mernia' [The Mearns?]. Joannes Irvinus [John Irvin] works in Marr and Aberdeen, and Alex'r Lesleus [Alexander Lesley] works in Strathbogie; Alex'r Ivinus [Alexander Irvin] works in southern Scotland, close to 'Tuedam' and also occassionaly in Edinburgh. The Marquess of Huntly helps all the missionaries and those in the Catholic faith in the area. He hopes that PF will send them missionaries, and provide money. Nobody in the mission currently has the faculties to consecrate portable altars and chalices, as had been granted to Winster in his old faculties. There is a great need for someone who is allowed to do this, and as there is not even one bishop on the whole island, they are not able to get the Holy oils.

An account of the resource
Letter from Marcello Costa to PF secretary. A month and a half ago he was assigned 30 scudi annually for the mission in Bizerte, for which he received the patent from Monsù Levacher [Jean Le Vacher]. This meant that he lost the right to receive 24 scudi annually for the mission in Tunis. Costa asked PF to repay Le Vacher the 30 scudi that he already gave to Costa. PF replied with a letter, writing that he would not receive his money before arriving in Bizerte, and he directly sent a letter back to PF in which he explained everything. However, according to Rapo Hapro this letter was aboard of a ship that sunk, hence why he is writing another letter. He already served for three years in different missions in Barbary, all at his own costs. In this area there are 20,000 Christians that never see a priest. Le Vacher knew this, and also knew how much debt Costa acquired helping them; because of this reason, he granted Costa 30 scudi. Costa has debts for 28 scudi, not because he spent money on food or clothing, but because he spent it for the church. He lost not only his money for the mission but also his health. Unfortunately he is unable to pay the 30 scudi back that Le Vacher had loaned him, and eventually to raise some money, he sold his Breviary. There are 15 bagnos in the city, and for the souls to be helped, it is necessary that PF pays the expenses. Whilst there are four other priests they are of little use; one is blind, the second an idiot who hardly knows how to say mass, the third has been freed and is about to leave, and the fourth has been chained and is not allowed to leave the bagno. It is important that PF is aware of the things that Costa is writing, as it is very dangrous to travel around in the area. If PF would decide to grant him 100 scudi annually this would be most just and necessary. He has not yet travelled to Bizerte, and he feels sorry for the souls that will be lost now. They are about to lose the great saint of the church of Africa, Jean Le Vacher, for he is too ill to leave his bed; he has spasms in his leg, which is likely to result in amputation. The two Capuchins destined for the mission have not arrived, and during feastdays he takes care of five altars all by himself. When he comes home he is so tired that he does not eat but goes directly to sleep.

Description
An account of the resource
Two letters arrived from Alessandro Winstero [Alexander Winster], the current Scottish prefect. The letters discuss various requests, and the response of the cardinals: a) as Gilberto Graio [Gilbert Gray] was useless for the mission, he was recalled. Winster has not done this yet, because he does not have enough money to provide Gray with traveling expenses; b) he also had the order to send Aless'ro Brunetto [Alexander Burnet] back for his inadecquacy, and he has given him 40 scudi travelling money. Winster still asks for the refund; c) Winster heard that some Scottish students go from one College to the another without any testimonial letters. The superiors of the Colleges should be instructed not to receive any student without the necessary testimonial letters; d) he asks for the faculties to consecrate chalices and portable alters, as currently there is not anyone who can do this; e) he asks what to do about the Holy oils since he cannot get them from mainland Europe (as prescribed by the canons); and f) because of the poverty in the country, Winster asks for the money requested to be sent in due time. Besides this, the Procurator Lesleo [William Lesley] also asks for the missionaries in Scotland to be paid on time, at least before the second half of the year begins. He also asks Aless'ro Irvino [Alexander Irvin] to be given the same amount of money as the other missionaries. Irvin receives 40 scudi, while the others get 50 scudi. He had previously paid the difference of 10 scudi himself, but he is unable to continue doing so.
In response to the first issue, PF responds to let Gray leave without giving him any traveling money. To the second issue, PF wrote to the prefect to take Burnet, as he was a suitable candidate for the mission. The prefect asked for the travelling money to which the answer was "Nihil." Aless'ro Irvino [Alexander Irvin] was accepted as missionary in 1668 and confirmed in 1671.

An account of the resource
PF Summary of SOCG 435. Robert Monro, a missionary in Scotland, writes in a letter that: a) he has not been able to serve the mission as he wanted, because of a persecution in Scotland that started after letters of Jesuits were found. This happened when one captain Hardy (a Catholic), had a fight with his wife who sent the most confidential letters to the dean of Edinburgh (a heritic called Lauria or Lorenzo), and he sent the letters to the privy council. This Hardy had a correspondence with all the missionaries, and especially with Sig' Bianchi [Francis White] and Padre MacDonel [Francis MacDonnell?]. They also found a letter by Monro, and received detailed information about all the missionaries. They see this as a judgement from God, because these people did not want to return to the church, and the Catholics did not live virtuously enough; b) the council issued another decree by which it was forbidden for Catholics to hear mass, or practice their religion in Scotland; c) the count of Sempil and the baron of Petfodels have been thrown in jail, because they sent their children outside Scotland for education; d) the count of MacDonell of Glengary has been told that he should find security, and that many members of his family will need to behave themselves, and the same goes for many of the Montagnoli; e) in the mountains there are not really any problems. But Monro nor the other missionaries can carry out their missionary activities; f) Frasiro [Francis Fraser] and Kimneries will pay the money, as ordered by the procurator; g) Bianchi [Francis White] is dying; h) the Procurator [William Lesley], when writing to the missionaries, should call himself Giacomo I'nes. He should also send the letters for the prior to his brother Alessandro Lesleo [Alexander Lesley], because all the letters that are written to Catholics are intercepted; i) he asks for Rome to write to the queen of Scotland so that she will protect the Catholics; j) many Catholics have been imprisoned, and that he himself escaped two times. He has many other things to write that he does not dare to say. Barclaro [Robert Barclay], the rector of the Scottish College in Paris, who sent Monro's letter to the procurator, writes also to the procurator himself, asking to give the missionary parents with the viaticum to the brother of the procurator [Alexander Lesley]. Because the College had spent a lot of money on a chapel, they were not able to give him the money themselves. He writes that the things Monro wrote were true, but that not all the mistreatments of the Catholics were for religious reasons; it is noted however, that they have been treated badly for their religion in the past, but now the Catholics do not have to fear persecution. After a decree that issued the freedom of conscience, the criminal laws against the nonconformists have been suspended, the Catholics can organize mass in private places, and all the other religions have been given public places. Information about this edict is also written by Patrizio Coneo [Patrick Con], and he said that he gave this letter to Cardinal Carlo [Carlo Barberini?] and Cardinal Barberino [Francesco Barberini?]. He writes that it is important to be careful, and one should remember that there are spies [in Paris?] that write everything down to send to England. PF decides to write to the queen about the Scottish Catholics.

Summary of three letters sent from the Scottish missionaries to PF. The nuncio to France [Francesco Nerli] has sent some letters from Scotland, written by the new prefect [David Burnetto], and one from a missionary [Alexander Winster]. In these letters they write that there are eight missionaries in Scotland, three of which are in the mountain areas, where 1,000 Catholics live. For this number one would actually already need six priests. He asks for 30 scudi each year to install [Nicolo Dunbar?] as a teacher in the school in Moidart. He also asks not to send missionaries without patents, and he gives some information about the mission. He also asks for a document prior to the mission.

Letter from Federico Baldeschi, secretary of PF. Two letters have been presented to the procurator of the mission of Scotland from Valchero [John Walker], who had been prefect of the Scottish mission. He had worked for this mission for 22 years, and eventually fell so badly ill, that it was necessary to travel to Padua. Because he spent all his money for his treatment he has nothing left, hence why he asks to continue his payment as missionary. The secretary of PF [Federico Baldeschi] states that he has always done good work for the mission; there was also a letter of recommendation from Barbarigo [Francesco Barberini]. PF decides to give Walker 55 scudi.

An account of the resource
There are eight missionaries in Scotland. Three of them, Francisc' Blancus [Francis White], Francisc' Macdonell [Francis MacDonell], and Robert Monro work in the northern mountains of Scotland, and on the Hebrides. Six priests there would hardly be enough, since there are around 4,000 people. On the islands Morar and Bara everyone is Catholic, on Ovist (the biggest of the islands), there are around 700 Catholics; there is also one master in the school in Glengaria, Eug. Maccalester [Eugene Macalister]. They teach the youths from the northern countries English, because they usually only speak Gaelic; therefore they would need more teachers. They ask a annual pension of 300 scudi for Biancu [White] so that he can work as a teacher. David Burnet works in the county of Aberdeen and in Buchania and Joannes Irvinus [John Irvin] works in Marria and elsewhere in Aberdeen. Alexander Irvin works around Edinburgh and sometimes also goes to Tivedalia and the county of Traquair. Huntley has left his easy life in the Catholic world behind, to help them in their mission. Gilbert Gray is very useless for the mission and Winster hopes that he will be recalled. David Burnet has become the new prefect without any official authority after John Walker left. Walker is paralysed, and for three years he has tried to improve his health; he left London for France, and eventually travelled to Italy.

Letter from David Burnet to PF. John Walker was the prefect of the mission but he suffered from a stroke. He remained prefect for two more years. But in May 1671 he went to London, as he hoped that the doctors there could help him. During his absence he made David Burnet prefect. Eventually Walker decided to go to France, and eventually to Padua. Alexander Winster works in the province of Aberdeen and Bamfia[?], and one year ago he travelled to Angus and Moray[?]. Fran' Le Blanc [Francis White], Fran' Macdonald [Francis MacDonell] and Rob' Monro [Robert Monro] work in the mountains of Scotland. Alexander Irvin works in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Gilbert Gray is useless for the mission and Burnet asks PF to recall him. Alexander Burnet came a year ago from the Scottish College in Rome without faculties, and he has been doing nothing ever since.

PF has decided not to grant the clemency that has been asked, as there is very little need for it. The ports of Tunis, Algiers and Tripoli PF already have its own missionaries to assist the Christian slaves in their spiritual needs.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Antonio Di Seravezza to PF. He had previously sent a letter to PF about the poor state of the church of Tunis (which had been caused by the French consul Jean Ambrozin), so that PF would select two priests for this case, and would be well informed enough to remove the consul from his position; he has given this letter to Father Chintana who was instructed to bring it to PF. However, the two ships that would bring the letter to Rome have been capatured by the Turks, therefore he is sure that the letters are lost. For this reason, a copy has been made, and sent with the help of David de Barnard and Cosimo Bouillard, a French merchant. Because he [Di Seravezza] was staying in Tabarca he had to go to Sardinia in order to meet Girolamo Da Sassari (his predecessor who had expierenced the same troubles as he is now), to talk about the case. When he arrived there, however, he found out that he passed away. In Sardinia however, he found two priests willing to serve as missionaries, Elzelario Boulliard and Alexandrino Serro. He asks PF for their missionary patents. In the dispatch that he expected to receive, he hoped to find the patents for these priests from the Father Provincial. He also asks patents for two other priests, Gio' Baptista Pisquedda and Michel Angelo Ledda. In three or four days he explects to return to Tabarca. The letter also notes that three years ago an 18-year-old Capuchin monk named Francesco della Pantelleria (the slave of Agimamamet Cogga, alias Filippo Delustria), renounced the faith. Di Seravezza ransomed him for 450 piastre. He promised to pay the money back to Di Seravezza who had lent it. In Pisa, Della Pantelleria gave it to Giouan Pagni. When Di Seravezza arrived in Genova he wrote a letter to Pagni asking him to give back the money. He said he gave the money to Antonio Maria Vintimiglia who will return the money to Tunis, so that Di Seravezza can give it back to his creditors.

Description
An account of the resource
PF summary of SOCG 424. Because Gio' LeVacher [Jean Le Vacher] could no longer stay as vicar apostolic in Tunis, Girolamo Da Sassari was sent there as vicar prefect; this authority was later given to Antonio Da Serauezza. They did many good things in Tunis, but Da Sassari eventually had to leave Tunis for the same reason. Ships that arrived in the port of Tunis used to always give alms to the bagnos. The French consul [Jean Ambrozin] wanted to keep this money to himself, and if someone objected, he was forced by the consul to leave the city. When Da Sassari went to Rome, Antonio Di Seravezza stayed behind, but never wrote to PF. He did write to the French nuncio in which he called himself vicar apostolic of Carthage, despite never being appointed by PF. In this letter he wrote that the consul took the money of the chapels, and that the consulalso led a dishonest life; he made two vicar apostolics leave the city because they asked him about the money for the chapels. Its noted that the consul did many unworthy things against the faith and the crown, and were he not in Tunis, many souls would not have been lost. In Marseille he asked to restore the order, and to make the consul pay back the money by means of Antonio Croi (a Minor Observant). He stated that these scandals happened, as Colbert protected the consul. The Nuncio talked with Monsù di Lionnè and asked him to force the consul to work in a more honourable way. There are two things to do: a) it is obvious that Di Seravezza is not being honest; and b) though the soulution may seem obvious, it would be more difficult to let the most christian king do something about the consul. Without the missionaries it is also clear that there will be souls lost. There is another letter written by Da Sassari from Rome to Di Seravezza which is signed by the vicar and prefect of Tunis. He says that he received spiritual things from the court but nothing to support the mission, and therefore he does not want to return. He also says that PF wants the consul to return the money, and that the vicar apostolic of Algiers [Jean Le Vacher], who is also vicar apostolic in Tunis, does not intervene in this mission; also for this reason he does not seem suited for the mission. Di Seravezza wrote to the vicar apostolic of Tunis [Jean Le Vacher] informing him first of all the things that the consul had done, and secondly that he had sent two priests of his order to Tunis, where he also wanted to go himself. He stated that he did not leave Tunis to leave the Christians there behind, but to instead inform the most christian king of the problems caused by the consul. He tells the vicar that he will take care of the churches of Tunis and Tripoli, and that the vicar should only take care of the church of Algiers; this has been decided by PF, and in another letter to PF he also asked for the patents.
Date discussed: 1670-11-10
Additional comments
In the corresponding acta file (i.e. the copy) PF decides the following things: 1) the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] should be written to for more information about the consul; 2) the superior of the Minor Observants should call Antonio Di Seravezza back from the mission; and 3) the patents that Girolamo Da Sassari received should be revoked.
