Description
An account of the resource
Summary of the state of Scotland including many suggestions from the procurator of the Scottish mission, William Lesley. The summary states: a) there is need of missionaries for the Highlands and the Hebrides who are able to speak Gaelic. The brother [John White] of the missionary working there, Francis White is proposed. PF should ask the superior of CM [René Alméras] to let him go there, and should also write to the archbishop of Armagh who is now in Paris, asking him to search for other priests, as he has done so before. The procurator suggests that the nuncio [Carlo Roberti de’ Vittori] be written to, to ask for information from the rector of the Scottish College, and from [Patrizio] Cuneo, about the suitability of the candidates; b) there is need of another schoolteacher since the one who is teaching now in the Hebrides is not Catholic. The second teacher, who is Catholic, first taught on the island Skye but was expelled when the ministers found out that he was Catholic; he now teaches at the house of the Count of Glengarry; c) the prefect of the Scottish mission [Alexander Winster] has 90 scudi, which is part of the money that PF had assigned to the schoolteacher, who did not accept everything; the prefect asks PF what to do with it; d) the missionaries ask for books, which are too expensive for the schoolteacher and the ordinary people to purchase themselves; e) the procurator suggests that PF write a letter of recommendation on behalf of the missionaries to the powerful Catholic Huntly family; f) the missionaries ask for a place to live in Edinburgh; g) they suggest writing to the superiors of the religious orders active in Scotland, that their members be obliged to show their missionary licenses to PF missionaries when requested to do so, in order for local Catholics to be sure that they do not receive the sacraments from priests without authority. These issues were discussed at the PF meeting on 9 November 1665. PF notes on f. 231v indicate that the cardinals have decided the following: 1) the nuncio to France should ask the superior of CM [René Alméras] that he allow [John] White to go help the Catholics in his country; 2) the archbishop of Armagh [Edmund O’Reilly] should be asked to search for other priests who understand Gaelic, and could be sent to the Highlands and Hebrides, and to propose them to the nuncio, who will in turn refer these names to PF; 3) another teacher should be appointed for the islands, who will receive the same yearly subsidy as Eugenio Macalastro [Alexander Macalister]; 4) the Jesuit superior general be told that the Jesuits should elect some able young men who could study in the Scottish colleges, and also amongst those who already live in the Highlands. The different Scottish colleges should also be visited by the various nuncios, and the latter should refer their findings to PF; 5) the prefect of the mission [in Scotland] should be written to, stating that the 90 scudi is to be spent for the current provision of the missionaries and the teacher; 6) the procurator has to mention which books he thinks would be useful, so that PF can provide for them; 7) a letter of recommendation should be written as suggested by the procurator; its noted that the cardinals decided nothing with respect to the house that the missionaries asked for; 8) lastly, they decided that the superiors of different orders should forbid the members of their orders to enter Scotland, without a decree from PF.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from PF to Gio' LeVacher [Jean Le Vacher]. In Rome is a deposit of 1,000 pezze da otto, that the Dey orginally gave to some Maltese captains in order to ransom a slave in Messina. They kept the money for themselves until they arrived in Rome, where they were forced to deposit it. This was done in order to make sure that the slaves in Barbary would not suffer because of the incident. The Dey threatened to compensate his loss with the money intended for the ransoming of Christian slaves. As the Dey has since died, there is no more risk of persecution. To be sure of this they ask Le Vacher to inform them about the exact situation, and to write an extensive report in order to enable PF to make a decision on the case.
Additional comments
The names of the Maltese captains involved are: Serafino and Giovanni Vincenzo Piccinini, and Giuseppe and Franceso Guevara.

Letter from PF to Alessandro Winstero [Alexander Winster]. PF has discussed many times the need for missionaries in Scotland, especially in the Highlands. They speak a different language in the Highlands to that in the Lowlands; it is this reason why it is hard to find missionaries. Bianchi [John White] will now travel to Scotland as missionary. CM priests (among whom he currently lives), are reluctant to let him go, but because of the sufferings of Christianity, they have decided to let him travel to Scotland. They have given John White the orders to directly go to the mission, and have immediately given him the required travel money. When Winster makes a patent for John White under his prefecture, he can be sent to the place that is most desperate for help.

Letter from PF to Gio' Bianchi [John White]. The prefect of the mission of Scotland [Alexander Winster] has written to PF several times about the need of missionaries, especially in the Highlands. They speak a different language in the Highlands to that in the Lowlands; it is this reason why it is hard to find missionaries. They have asked John White to become a missionary to help his brother Franc'o Bianchi [Francis White], and PF has heard about John White's willingness to help the spiritual well-being of his country. They declared him missionary according to the attached patents. They have also asked him to prepare himself for the travel, by which he has to present himself to the nuncio [Carlo Roberti de' Vittori]. The nuncio will give him more precise instructions, and will provide him with travelling money. Eventually PF will give him the provisions that the other missionaries have also received.

Letter from PF to the nuncio to France [Carlo Roberti de' Vittori]. PF have been waiting for CM superior [René Alméras] to propose an Irish missionary to go to Scotland, instead of Gio' Bianchi [John White]. PF have waited a very long time for Alméras to propse a candidate, and had decided that because of the scarsity of missionaries, the delay cannot continue. PF asks de' Vittori to try again to convince Alméras to let John White go to Scotland. If necessary he should provide John White with 40 scudi to cover the cost of his travel, which PF will give back to him later.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from PF to the nuncio to France, Carlo Roberti de' Vittori. PF requests that de' Vittori ask Gio Le Vacher [Jean Le Vacher], to inform them about the qualities of Constantino Maurudi Da Tunisi (an Orthodox priest). They want to know: a) what he has been doing lately; b) whose student he was; c) what he does for the patriach of Alexandria; d) where he stayed during his time in Cyprus and Egypt; e) if he has any goodwill towards the Catholic faith; f) what his behavior is and how he acts towards Catholics; g) if he deems it necessary to give Maurudi a companion to help him; and h) if he could maintain this companion without any extra financial support from PF. PF expects Le Vacher to be able to provide this information, considering he has been vicar apostolic for a long time.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from PF to the nuncio to France, Carlo Roberti de' Vittori. PF has come to the understanding that Gio' LeVacher [Jean Le Vacher] has returned to Paris, leaving Tunis (where he used to be vicar apostolic), and the poor slaves behind. As the Mercedarians and Trinitarians have also returned to their provinces, there are only a few slave priests left to administer the sacraments. PF is very upset about the fact that Le Vacher has left the mission so suddenly, and without giving any notice, or waiting for another priest to take his place. PF aks de' Vittori to order Le Vacher to return to Tunis. PF has always been satsified with Le Vacher and want him to return to his position. In the case that he refuses to return, CM Superior [René Alméras] should send another priest in his place as soon as possibile, in order not to leave the Catholics on their own.

Letter from PF to the vicar apostolic of Tunis [Jean Le Vacher]. Jean Le Vacher. To help the slaves in Tunis and Tripoli in their spiritual needs, they give Le Vacher permission to grant faculties for three years to secular and regular priest approved by himself; PF trusts Le Vachers judgement on whether he believes the candidates to be worthy of the greater service of God. The Indulgence for the slaves that confess during specific days, has been accepted by the pope, and will be sent soon.
Additional comments
The letter was probably written between 29 April 1666 and 26 June 1666.
Elsewhere they name (besides Tunis and Tripoli), Algiers as a city to whom the indulgences would also apply, see: APF Lettere 51, 19r (database item 848).

Letter from PF to the nuncio to France Card'l Roberti [Carlo Roberti de' Vittori]. The procurator general of the Congregation of the Discalded Augustinians of France, informed PF about the lack of financial aid for the mission in Barbary; the mission used to be supported by a French merchant, but since he died, they lost their income. There is however another French merchant who has offered to pay for the expenses of the mission. They ask for more missionaries to be sent to the mission, and for one of them to be given the faculties of prefect of the mission. PF (wanting to help in the spiritual needs of these regions), asks de' Vittori to inform them about the suitability of the proposed candidates, and for more information regarding the proposal of the merchant.

The schoolmasters have been given a provision of 300 scuta a year, so that they do not have to ask the parents of the children for donations. PF will also spend 600 scuta on books for the mission, at least for those of Belarminus and Beccanus. If there is money left it should be used for the mission in the mountains. The letter concludes by stating it is important to take care of the two Franciscan priests from Ireland.

Now PF wants him to support the vicariate of Algiers, who needs his piety just as much; there is no one else who can fulfill this role, and PF recognises the great esteem that they have for him. They send Le Vacher the faculties of the vicariate that also apply to Tunis. They ask him to inform them about the number of Christians in the bagnos, the amount of priests that support them, the behavior of the priests, and any other information that PF may require.

Letter from PF to Gio' Ambrosini [Jean Ambrozin]. For a very long time PF has had a vicar apostolic in Tunis, in order to help the many Christian slaves living there. Now however, Gio' LeVacher [Jean Le Vacher], who used to be vicar apostolic, has left. PF still wants to provide for the spiritual needs of the slaves, and therefore a new vicar apostolic is needed. PF asks Ambrozin to propose a candidate that excels in Christian piety, and has the required skills. In the case that he is not able to select a suitable candidate, he needs to inform PF, who will find someone themselves.

Observations from [William Lesley] on the letters of the Scottish mission from the year 1667. His main points are: a) there is a structural lack of priests, mainly caused by the terrible state of the Scottish Colleges, the rectors of which are disobedient; b) the Colleges never call new students from the Highlands, although these would be the most suitable for the mission. This he says, is not strange, as the Jesuits have always neglected the Highlands, and stayed only with the rich and powerful people in the Lowlands. A remedy to these problems, and the same ones occurring in the Scottish monasteries in Germany, is to visit them and to constrain the superiors of the orders to make the rectors obey; and c) the best students are kept from the Scottish mission, as they are made to become Jesuits, convincing them that the vow they made [to go back to Scotland] was not binding.

An account of the resource
Letter from PF to Alessandrus Winsterus [Alexander Winster]. PF deems the Catholics in the mountains areas (including those that have been Catholic for a very long time, and those recently converted), to be worthy of their paternal caring, due to the rough times that they have expierenced. Sending any priests other than Irish to this area would be useless, as they would not speak the language. That is why they have sent Marcus and Franc'cu Macdaniel [Mark and Francis MacDannell], who are both Franciscans as missionaries. They are under the rule of the prefecture of Winster, and have been granted the usual faculties, subsidies and provision. They want Winster to send them to the place that has the greatest need for priests.
Additional comments
The letter must be written at least before 21 May 1667

An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of William Lesley, procurator of the Scottish mission, to PF. On behalf of the Scottish mission he asks for the following things: a) more Irish Franciscans to be sent to the Highlands; b) that a companion be sent to help Francis White, whether that be his brother John White or a certain Cussak, who is a secular Irish priest who has offered to go; c) that the rectors of the Scottish Colleges be ordered to search for students in the Highlands to teach them, and after ordaining them, send them back to the Highlands as missionaries; d) more schools be founded in the Highlands; e) that the missionaries find able young people who are disposed to become clerics and send them to these schools, and in case they are not able to pay for the schools, that PF or the Scottish Colleges subsidize them; f) that the missionaries and school teachers be sent books and devotional objects; g) that the missionaries be divided over the different provinces by the prefect; h) that all the Scottish who have been ordained ad titulum missionis in the Colleges but have subsequently entered a religious order, be ordered to go to Scotland immediately; i) that all priests write at least once a year to PF; j) that the regular missionaries be equally distributed throughout the country; k) that PF or the pope write a letter (or brief) in which they order the Scottish Catholics to financially support their own missionaries; l) that 13 secular missionaries be sent to each bishopric, plus one prefect and around 30 regular priests; Lesley is willing to go there himself in order to set an example; m) that John Walker be made prefect instead of [Alexander] Winster, who wants to resign; n) that the Scottish Colleges be visited in order to diminish certain bad practices; o) that the rector of the Scottish College in Paris be replaced; p) that likewise the Scottish monasteries in Germany be visited; q) that the faculties of the prefect and of the secular priests in Scotland be renewed, since they are about to expire; r) that these faculties be given to Alessandro Iruino [Alexander Irvin], and that all of them be restricted to certain areas; s) that the prefect of the mission should be ordered to visit all provinces at least once a year, and write letters describing the state of these areas, including their problems and needs; t) that the prefect be given the faculty to consecrate chalices and altar stones, since the current faculty is about to expire; u) that the cardinals have changed their minds regarding the location of a house where missionaries can retire, because if they were to find it in Dieppe as they currently intend to, the missionaries would have to retire in a land where they would be strangers; v) that the missionaries in the Highlands be given some chalices and vestments; w) that often students of the Scottish Colleges are ordained without dispensation, but they need a dispensation because they are former heretics or sons of heretics; x) that the Scottish mission be visited, and that the visitor may have ample faculties and instructions; y) that PF give the mission a bishop with the title of vicar apostolic, as has been done in Holland; and z) that the Duchess of Aiguillon be asked to approach her uncle, Cardinal Richelieu, to establish a nunnery in Scotland. The petition is undated.
Additional comments
The petition must be dated before the end of 1668 because that is when Alexander Winster stopped being the prefect of the mission (or at least till 1672, when Walker went to Italy for medical attention). Alexander Irvin also arrived there in March 1668.

An account of the resource
Report from the Scottish mission. Ibernese Scottish are referenced as the inhabitants of the Scottish mountains. All the natives of this area (and those adjacent), cannot be called either Catholic or Protestant. However within their minds they reject these heresies, that they are forced to listen to by the heretic priest. They are (in matters of the faith), ignorant, due to the lack of priests to instruct them. When a priest arrives on the islands, they call him 'crowned,' respecting and loving him way more than they would do with a Protestant priest. They still respect the old Catholic customs, and they baptize their children themselves when the Protestant ministers refuse to. There are no heretics among them, and they do not collaborate in the destruction of churches and altars. These island are without churches, as well as priests. To provide them with spiritual assistance, it has been proposed to give the title of prefect of the mission to the new archbishop of Armagh. The archbishop himself has shown to be in favor. He is willing to go there himself, in order to inform PF about the state of the mission in these lands. It will be important to raise the youth according to the Holy orders, therefore it will be necessary to instruct the rectors of the Scottish Colleges to admit a number of competent students from here. From the report by Winster (once the prefect of the mission), one comes to understand the following issues: a) next to the Atlantic Ocean [Mare Deucaledonio], there are the Hebrides, to the north there are the Orkney islands, and the Shetlands islands are closer to Norway. The biggest of these islands takes more than a days travel from the coast; b) the part in the North, is called the Highlands [Hijlans]. The cities are very far away from each other, and during the winter it is impossible to travel; c) the lands in the mountains are not very productive during the five or six months of winter. The sea areas however, have a great abundance of fish; d) the most northern parts have very little trade with the rest of the country. Therefore, the missionaries have to bring their own wine and bread; e) there is no way to send or receive letters except through the capital; f) their language is Gaelic [Hibernese], therefore only people from that area are able to conduct the mission; g) originally there were bishoprics in Dunblane [Dumblanen'], Dunkeld [Dunchelden'], [Rossen'?], [Catanesien'], [Argatelien'], and the Orkney island [Orcaden'] also known as island churches; h) in the country of Glengarry, under the Count MacDonal, the Catholics are safe. They are also safe in the mountain areas under Euntlei [George Gordon, marquis of Huntely]; i) the most important Catholic is the Count of MacDonald. Thanks to his zeal the Catholic faith has been able to spread in this part of the country, and the same goes for Huntely. Officially Catholicism is forbidden, but the mountains and islands are so far out the centre, that one is able to practice; j) the missionaries are two franciscan priests, one named Marco [Mark MacDonnell] and the other Francesco Magdonalli [Francis MacDonnell], one secular priest Francesco Bianchi [Francis White], and a school master in Glengarry, called Eugenio Macalastrio [Eugene Macalister]. They often visit the mountain areas and the islands; k) it is hard to convince the parents to let their children study abroad; l) the school master is able to stay in Glengarry because they are protected by Lord MacDonnald. It would be hard to find another master, and Macalister is only able to survive there because he receives support from MacDonnald. There used to be a Irish missinary Duigen [Duiguin] but he recently retired; and m) there are more missinaries needed. Francis White offered to find some with the help of his brother, the vicar apostolic of Limerick. They should be paid 20 or 25 scudi. Only the natives are able to travel between the villages in winter, therefore one should recruit the missionaries from among them. Even the Irish missionaries tend to leave, and because the ground is not very fertile, there is not a great abundance of bread. It is hard for foreigners to adjust to this lifestyle, but the natives are used to it. In the mountains it is easier to practice the Catholic faith, and one can easily flee in the face of persecution. Nonetheless, many missionaries have decided to leave the country all together. The secular missionaries work very hard to aid the Catholics, but the secular ones often stay in their houses.
The reason why it is so difficult to find youths to send to the Colleges overseas is not because there is no-one suitable, but because the missionaries have difficulties making friends among the population of the mountain areas, who do not like those from the lowlands. As the missionaries visit most places only twice every seven years, they are very unlikely to convince the parents to allow them to travel. Its suggested that the natives of the mountain areas should be won over through gentleness, and not by force.
Additional comments
The report was probably written between 1668 and 1672, as it mentions that Winster had been prefect; he was prefect before 1668 and again after 1672.

Description
An account of the resource
PF summary regarding a propsal to visit the Scotish mission, as discussed in a previous PF general meeting. The cardinals gave the task to search for a candidate for the visit, to Barberini who refused to go himself. The procurator of the Scottish mission [William Lesley] proposes that either an Italian priest should be sent, or one of the missionaries should do the visitation; both would be accompanied by a trusted Scot. The procurator himself would be a very good choice since he is well informed on the wishes of PF, as well as on the Scottish mission, but it is unlikely that Cardinal Charles Barberini [Carlo Barberini] would allow him to go. It is also noted that [Alexander] Winster, who has been prefect and is now a normal missionary in Scotland, could do the visitation.
Additional comments
This must be made between 1668 and 1672. In 1668 Alexander Winster stopped being the prefect and became a regular missionary. From 1672 he would take up the prefect authority once again.

An account of the resource
Two petitions on behalf of the Capuchin Girolamo Da Sassari, prefect of the mission in Tunis. One is written to the pope, in which he explains why he left his mission in Tunis (the consul Jean Ambrozin threatened him, after Da Sassari demanded the money that he was obliged to pay to the church of Tunis). In the petition to PF, Da Sassari asks for the faculties of vicar apostolic or vicar general of Carthage, so that the other missionaries (both free and enslaved), will have to obey him. PF notes state that it is not common to give such faculties to Capuchins, and that it is not wise that he return to the mission because either he left because of the consul's anger (which will not have diminished), or because of an 'instable' character, which would have not changed either. The rescript that followed PF discussion of 26 March 1669 reads "nihil."
Date discussed 1669-03-26
Additional comments
Girolamo Da Sassari was probably in Rome around this time. He left Tunis in September 1668, and travelled to Rome (where he still was in February 1669). See: APF SOCG 424, 245r-246v (database item 750).

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.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter for PF to Jean Le Vacher. Because the place called 'il Bastone' is part of the territory of Tunis and Algiers (of whom Le Vacher holds the faculties and jurisdiction of vicar apostolic), he can appoint a missionary there without having to gain permission from anyone else. In the case they are not part of his jurisdiction, they will be granted new faculties, which PF will send to Le Vacher.
