Description
An account of the resource
The statutes of Christophe Authier's congregation in Valence, in two versions (as emended by PF, and as submitted initially). The name of the congregation in the amended version is "Congregatio Sanctissimi sacramenti ad Missiones et Seminariorum directionem"; in the initial version (on f. 171r-173v) it is "Congregatio Sacerdotum Cleri."
Date discussed 1647-04-01 and 1647-06-17
Additional comments
A second set of statutes (identical content; only PF notes differ) is in PF SOCG 199, f. 450r-457v (not in this database). They were discussed in PF general meetings of June and September 1647; it looks like that set was sent to Cardinal Brancatio for review, after all the other cardinals had already seen it (according to PF note on f. 454v).

Description
An account of the resource
Letter written by a Discalced Carmelite [possibly Pierre de Piviers] to PF about the situation in Madagascar. The letter notes that he has heard from merchants of the Compagnie, that secular missionaries have been sent to Madagascar the previous year, and that they do not want Discalced Carmelites to be on the island; they fear this might cause problems, as there is already concern that the people might loose their esteem for the secular priests, and that conflict might arise. Its also noted that people are not very happy with the arrival of the French. The letter also talks about the bishopric of Babylonia and Isfahan. The bishop (Father Bernard) said that he could not reside in his bishopric because he is ill, however he wants to help the mission by apppointing someone of his congregation as his successor; the bishop states he will support him and other missionaries financially and with faculties. The letter is not signed or dated.
Additional comments
There is no signature and no date, but, based on the content, it may be inferred that the letter was probably written by a Discalced Carmelite in 1649, possibly Pierre de Piviers.

Description
An account of the resource
Statement by Ferdinando Di Alaba, procurator of the provinces of Castile, Leon, and Navarra, of the order of the Discalced Trinitarians. Di Alaba informs them that the Trintarians have five hospitals in Algiers. The priests of this order take care of the slaves, and administer the spiritual bread, preach the gospel, celebrate mass, and administer the sacraments of penance and more. They teach the basics of the faith to the children, and with the revenue of the order, they ransom slaves. These priests have worked for the slaves for over 70 years. Recently however a French priest arrived in Algiers, named Gio' leVacher [Jean Le Vacher], as vicar apostolic, without ever wanting to prove this title with papers. He prohibits the priests of the order to use their privileges, and to administer the sacraments to the slaves. He also took the coat of arms of the Spanish king (the protector and benefactor of these hospitals), the crosses, the sign of the Trintarians, and also the Holy sacrament from the hospitals. They had always been very secure, however Le Vacher has since brought it into his house, which is filled with merchants, Muslims, Jews, Lutherans, and other sectarians. As result, the pix with five consecrated wafers got stolen, which puts the sick in danger of dying without their viaticum. The priests who carried the wafers, were also insulted by the infidels. Le Vacher introduced the sick heretics in the same rooms as the Catholics. He wanted the masses to be held in his house too. When the priests refused, he had them detained by their Turkish masters. One of the administrators protested, and was consequently incarcerated and castigated with chains by the Muslim tribune on false pretenses. These cases were brought to court by the nuncio to Spain at PF. They ask PF to give one of the administrators the title and faculties of vicar apostolic.
Additional comments
The date is based on the fact that it is known that this case was discussed in 1679, see: APF SOCG 475, 93r-98r, 124v (database item 798).

The report also lists all the missionaries and their activities: a) secular priests, Ioannes Smiteus [John Smith] and Jacobus Crittonius [James Crichton] who both work in Galloway, Nithsdale and Lauderdale (all in the south). [Joannes Valcherus] John Walker and Thomas Lumsdenus [Thomas Lumsden] work in the territories of the Huntly family; the report also states there are three Irish priests working in the Highlands and on the islands; b) regular priests, Roger Lindzaius [Roger Lindsay], a Capuchin who is already "in officio" for 45 years, and Father Primrosius [Primrose] who works in Lothian; and c) priests from the Society of Jesus, Father Hall, Father Maxuellius [Maxwell], Father Macbreccus [Macbreccus], Father George Lesleus [Lesley], Father Joannes Smiteus [John Smith], Father Grantius [Grant] and Father Andreas Lesleus [Andrew Lesley]. The superior then goes on explaining family ties of important Catholic families, and describing which members of these families have been (re)converted.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Antonio Di Seravezza. He sends this letter and the attached document, because of urgent reasons of the Holy faith. Due to the great honors that he received from him, and because of all the things he has done for the church, Antonio Maria Ventimiglia of Tunis has been elected protector and defender of the church of Tunis. He asks for the patent of protector, and procurator of the church of Tunis, by which he would not have to recognize a higher authority. In the attachment there is a list of accusations against the French consul Ambrogini [Jean Ambrozin]: a) he sold a french boy to the Bassia, made the boy from Toulon the slave of the Bassia, and he had a French boy beaten 500 times with a cane; b) he called all the merchants to the dogana where he had them whipped and sold them to the Bassia; c) he tried to burn two vicar apostolics; d) he had beaten up and burnt Monsu Durand; e) he made two jews (who Di Seravezza just converted to catholicism), Turks; f) he expressed hapiness at the death of Monsu Belfort; g) he said that he did not know of any pope, king or cardinal, and that he did not believe in the virgin Mary, the mother of God; h) he sent away the Holy sacrament; i) he paid Turks and rennegades to beat Di Seravezza up; and j) he has taken 360 piastre from the church.
Date discussed: 1671-08-06
Additional comments
Some of this accusations also appear in other letters from Antonio Di Seravezza. The converted jews seem to be Giuseppe and Angiolo from APF SOCG 248r-249v, 255r-256r (database item 734). With the two vicar apostolics he probably means himself and Girolamo Da Sassari. Because it has been written in Paris it must be after Di Seravezza went to France, as in December 1669 he was in Marseille; this letter was probably written somewhere around this time.

Description
An account of the resource
Relation on the Hebrides. The task to write a relation on the Hebrides was given to Archbishop of Armach [Armagh]. This relation was given to him by a franciscan missionary Fran'co Macdonel [Francis MacDonnell], who had to travel there to bring the Holy oils. The procurator [Willam Lesley] of the mission made some remarks about the content. He thinks that the amount of people that live on these island is much bigger than is described in this report. Various island are being described by their size, amount of inhabitants, whether they are Catholics or Protestants, and by its rulers. Most people on these island talk Scots "Scottish Gaelic" and the nobility speaks corrupted English. The lords of the island also have possesions on the mainland, where the people also speak Gaelic, and are very willing to the Catholic faith. Grain does not grow in these islands, but there is barley, oat and spelt and many animals; there are however, no fruit trees. There are many monuments for saints, and destroyed churches. The islands have a pseudo-bishop but he is never really present. The people there could be converted pretty easily. In the sumer people drink milk, during the winter boiled water. The rich nobility drinks beer. People do not give alms to the priests but are obliged to pay money to the Protestants. The missionaries only have the money that they receive from PF. Because there are not really foreign missionaries, the Scottish youths are instructed in Colleges outside the country, there is a risk however that they will not want to return. Flour should also be brought for the missionaries, since they live in great distress. To convert these island's one should: a) send priests who speak English, despite the problem of Scottish youth missionaries not wanting to return from abroad; b) to instruct the youths overseas, as the people prefer priests from their own country. Also described are the easiest ways to send a letter to the Scottish mission; c) it would really help if there was money to pay a schoolmaster. It was suggested that Eugenio Makelastrio would do this first, and later David Burnetto [David Burnet], but this never materialized. Maybe the brother of the procurator could teach Sciences after he finished his studies in Paris; and d) it would be a good thing if PF would write to the nobles on the island who are willing to help the Catholics. This is where the relation, that the bishop of Armagh, wrote with the help of Francis MacDonnell, ends. Lesleo [William Lesley] does not want to say anything more about this document besides the additions that he already made. Another, imcomplete, draft of the relation follows.
Additional comments
This report seems to be a reworking by William Lesley, the procurator of the Scottish Mission, of the report of the archbishop of Armagh (probably James Margelson). The missionary Francis MacDonnell also had a role in this, but it seems as if he provided the information to the archbishop who wrote the report. The archbishop says that he delivered the relation on 2 September 1671. The problem is however that Lesley still made changes to the document. The letters in the same file written by Lelsey are from much later, in 1678. Hence the report is probably written around the same time.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter referring to the success of two missions ordered by the bishop of Valence in Estoile (in spring 1639) and St. Giovanni di Reyan (fall-winter 1639 to January 1640). The bishop himself donated 200 scudi for this purpose. The missionaries taught the catechism, preached, made peace among enemies, converted heretics, heard general confessions and gave communion to people from those localities and many more who came from neighbouring places; one of these places, for instance, only had 1,500 inhabitants, but 7,000 were reported to have confessed and received communion there; of all, only four or five people did not make general confession. PF notes on 346v indicate that Christophe Authier is the author of the letter and also that the Cardinal of Santa Croce requested, on behalf of Christophe Authier, the apostolic confirmation of Authier's "Congregation of the Missions" in the Aix diocese and other dioceses in France. PF notes also show that the cardinals decided to send a letter to Authier, indicating that he should not establish missions in places where there already are other missionaries sent by PF.
Date discussed 1640-08-20
Additional comments
a) Based on the content of the letter and the date of discussion in PF, the letter was written sometime between January and August 1640; and b) According to PF notes on 346v, the author of the letter is Christophe Authier.

An account of the resource
Report on the status and activities of CM. The congregation was founded in 1524 and approved in 1632, with Vincent de Paul as superior general. The congregation has 20 houses, of which 16 are located in France (in Lorraine and Savoy), and two in Italy (in Rome and Genoa). Other houses are located in Ireland, Madagascar, on the Barbary coast, and in the Hebrides. The report also notes that CM has three aims: a) the perfection of the spirit; b) the maintaining of spiritual health of others, especially the poor inhabitants of the countryside; and c) the education of the clergy.
Additional comments
Written after 1648 (the Madagascar mission started in 1648 and all the other houses mentioned in this document were founded earlier).

An account of the resource
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.

Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of the Trinitarian procurator of Castile, Leon and Navarra, Ferdinando Di Alaba. The Trinitarians have five hospitals in Algiers. Here, the priests do not only take care of the slaves, but they also preach the gospel, celebrate mass, administer the sacraments of Penance, Eucharist (and others), teach the basics of the faith to the children, and they ransom slaves. This mission in Algiers has been going on for more than 70 years, but recently it has been disturbed by a French priest, Gio' Bacher [Jean Le Vacher]. He claims to be vicar apostolic of Carthage and Tunis, but has never shown any document or patent from PF proving this. Le Vacher takes the privileges from the priests, forbids them to administer the sacraments for the slaves, and removed the coat of arms of the Spanish king, the protector and patron of the hospitals, the crosses, and the sign of the Trinitarians from their walls. He also took the Holy sacrament from the churches of the hospitals, as he wants to keep it in his own house, which is full of merchants, Muslims, Jews, Lutherans and other sectarians. The priests who had to get the bread ran the risk of being too late, and being insulted by the unbelievers. Le Vacher also placed sick heretics in the same rooms as Catholics, which is a practice they have never followed. He forbade the slave priests to say mass in the hospitals, and instead made them do it in his house; when they protested, he let their Turkish patrons lock them up. One of the priests from the hospital [Bartolomeo Da Serrano] protested against this, after which he was brought before the Muslim court on the false accusation of trying to create an uprising; this was viewed as a scandal by both the Christians and Moors. Ferdinando asks PF to either give the priests the title and faculties of vicar apostlic in the hospitals, so that they will no longer be subject to the jurisdiction of Le Vacher.

Petition on behalf of Francesco Gatta and Giovanni Battista de Bonis (priests from the diocese of Matera), to PF. They ask for the faculties to go to the mission of Algiers, and PF notes mention that the same request has been discussed during the PF meetings of 12 February, and 17 April 1675. When asked about the need of new missionaries, the vicar apostolic of Algiers (Jean Le Vacher), stated there was no need. During their meeting of 2 March 1676, the cardinals decide to ask the bishop of Matera and Jean Le Vacher for more information.

Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Francesco Guevara asking for 1,000 pezze, that he deems to be his legitimate property, especially now that the Dey and his heirs have passed away. He states that after he arrived with Giuseppe Guevara, and Serafino and Vincenzo Piccinini in Civitavecchia, on the same ships which contained the goods and money of the Dey, they started fighting over it. The special commission ordered by the pope judged the case in his favor, but the others fled with most of the goods. PF, however, kept the 1,000 pezze on the advice of Jean Le Vacher, who feared that the Dey, out of redemption for a Muslim Slave in Sicily, would take the loss of the money out on Christians in Tunis.
Additional comments
The date of this petition is probably 1666. Late in 1665 Francesco Guevara wrote a letter to Jean Le Vacher. It seems probable that the petition was made a year later. See also: APF SOCG 254, 133r-v, 134v (database item 394).

Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Giuseppe Guevara in which he asks that the money that he had been forced to leave at the Monte di Pietà (at the request of PF), be given back to him. PF had ordered him to keep it there, in case the Dey of Tunis, who claimed that he had stolen it from him, would ask for it back (or threaten to take money from innocent slaves instead). The summary that precedes this petition explains the situation in more detail. Jean Le Vacher, vicar apostolic in Tunis, had explained that the Dey did not relent in claiming this money, and that shortly before his death he wanted to claim a certain amount of money from Sicily that was intended for the redemption of [Muslim] slaves. Le Vacher had also written that, although the Dey died without heirs, the Divan, who took all his possessions, would certainly have this money repaid by one of the free Christians in the city (providing they found out about this issue). Le Vacher also added that Francesco Guevara frequently pressured him with threats to write to PF, and support his request for the money. At their general meeting of 30 August 1666, the cardinals decide not to respond to Guevara's request, and to instead invest the interest produced by the money (which had been deposited at the Monte di Pietà), following the dispositions of the PF.

Petition on behalf of Giuseppe Guevara in which he asks that the money he left at the Monte di Pietà (on the orders of PF), which was to be kept for the Dey of Tunis [the Dey claimed that Guevara had stolen it from him], be given back, now that four years have gone by without anyone asking for it. The petition includes two documents. The first one is a decree issued by PF on 17 November 1664 attesting that he could have the money, but that he should invest it in the Monti Camerali; the petitions state that Guevara has done so. The second attached file is a testimony by two witnesses who attest that the Dey who claimed ownership of this money has died.
Date discussed 1665-11-23
Additional comments
At PF discussion of 23 November 1665 the cardinals decided to ask the vicar of Tunis (Jean Le Vacher) for more information.

Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Jean Le Vacher. He asks for the copies of the letters that PF has sent to him, in the case he loses one (as sometimes happens), he will still have the other. He especially asks for the copies of the letters about the spiritual needs of the Christians living in Bastione, Marroc or other countries that were sent to him some months ago. He also brings the news of the death of Costaguti, who was the archbischop of Carthage and also Vicar Apostolic of the city. He proposes Trotti as the new archbishop and vicar apostolic, and asks PF to confirm this election, as they also did with Costaguti with a decree from 17 april 1650. After this there follow a bundle of letters (the numbers are added by us) collected by the secretary of PF [Federico] Baldeschi:
a) Decree for Jean Le Vacher by Innocent X from 17 December 1650, in which he is declared vicar apostolic of Tunis;
b) A decree from PF to Jean Le Vacher from 9 September 1652. He asked for three things. For jurisdiction over secular and regular priests, to forbid all ceremonies and rites that are not part of the Roman church, and to give the priests the faculties to say mass one hour before sunrise and one hour after the midday, so that the laborers who have to work can attend mass. PF agrees with the first and third point, but does nothing with the second;
c) A Petition on behalf of 12 November 1652 on behalf of Adriani a S. Natalia, a discalded augustinian, for missionary faculties for someone of the same order. PF gives the faculties for three years to the augustinian a S. Margarita;
d) A petition to PF on behalf of Jean Le Vacher from 9 December 1652, by which his authority as vicar apostolic is extended to Tripoli and other cities in the diocese of Carthage;
e) is a decree for Jean Le Vacher from 29 November 1667, in which his position as vicar apostolic of Algiers and Tunis is confirmed;
f) A letter from Cardinal Chigi to Le Vacher, written by Rome from 12 June 1662. The dominican Silvestro Bendici (who has been enslaved during his return from Armenia and brought to Tunis), asked for the missionary faculties to help a great amount of slaves in the city. They ask Le Vacher if the service of this priest is necessary and if he is suitable. If it is true that this priests says mass more often than is necessary and was allowed, this should not be accepted. Or if this still happens because the slaves ask for it, it should be given in moderation through time and place;
g) A decree sent in the name of the prefect of PF, Antonio [Barberini Jr.] from 29 June 1666. For three years Le Vacher is allowed to give missionary faculties to regular or secular priests; h) Letter from the Prefect, Cardinal [Antonio] Barberini, and the secretary of PF, Her'mo Casanate [Girolamo Casanata] from 3 December 1667. For many years Le Vacher has been the vicar apostolic of Tunis, his services are still needed and therefore he is elected vicar apostolic of Algiers. They send him his faculties which also extend to Tunis. They ask him to inform them about the number of Christian slaves and priests in the bagnos;
i) The faculties of vicar apostolic of Gio Le Vacher [Jean Le Vacher], from 27 November 1667 or actually 16 February 1668. They have not made the transcription because the stored version was incorrect;
and j) Patent from the archbishop of Carthage, Scipio Costagusti, written in Napels by his secretary Iulius Grimaldus, by which Ioannis Le Vacher [Jean Le Vacher] is made vicar apostolic.
Date discussed: 1671-08-06
Additional comments
It has to be made somewhere between 1668 and 1671. The last letter is from 16 February 1668 and it has to be before 6 August 1671 because that is the date when it was discussed by PF.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Isodoro di San Giovanni, procurator of the Discalced Carmelites, to PF secretary, Dionisio Massari. He writes about an earlier decision of PF regarding the Madagascar mission (including the decision that two CM missionaries who had been proposed by Vincent de Paul and the nuncio for the mission, were not allowed to go, because the mission had already been assigned to the Discalced Carmelites). He therefore asks for a travel subsidy and a provision for the first year, for several Discalced Carmelites who are about to leave for Madagascar; he also requests the patent of mission prefect for Alberto Di San Michele. Lastly he requests a contribution for the sacred and secular furnishings that are needed in their mission.
Additional comments
Isodoro Di San Giovanni was appointed prefect of the mission in 1647. The Secretary to whom the letter is adressed though, Dionisio Massari, only became PF secretary in August 1649. Therefore the letter must be written in 1649 or later.

An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Giovanni il Vacher [Jean Le Vacher] to PF. As he is vicar apostolic of Algiers and Tunis and therefore has the power to appoint a substitute, he has sent a Capuchin priest [Luigi Da Palermo], from Sicily to Tunis; the slaves, priests and consul in the city and the Knights of Malta also asked him to send the priest. Le Vacher ransomed the Capuchin priest for 600 piastre, with the authority of vicar apostolic for three years. He has heard that Antonio Di Seravezza has returned to the mission of Tunis and Tripoli (which his order of the Minor Observants has control of), and according to a letter that Di Seravezza wrote to Le Vacher (and that Le Vacher will now sent to PF), he asks PF what should be done. Summary on the back. Monsignore [Federico Baldeschi?, the secretary] says that not only has Seravezza never been made vicar, but he he has also never been made missionary; the missions of Tunis and Tripoli were also never assigned to the Minor Observants. PF agrees with the appointment of the Sicilian Capuchin [Luigi Da Palermo] as vicar apstolic of Tunis.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from John O'Fahy to PF, in support of Christophe Authier's request to extend his mission from Sweden to Denmark, and to send another priest there for this purpose. PF note on 471v indicates that O'Fahy was writing on behalf of "Christophe Authier, head of his congregation," which suggests O'Fahy was not a member of CM at that time, despite occasional involvement with CM. PF notes indicate a positive response.

Description
An account of the resource
The bishop of Vaison informs PF about the "spiritual progress and great results" of the "secular priests associated in a congregation called of the Missionaries, which is very useful to the Church, both for the conversion of heretics, and for the propagation of piety and devotion vis-à-vis the Holy sacraments," which he hears is also the case in neighboring dioceses. One of these priests, whom he brought to Vaurias and who has been preaching, hearing confessions, and teaching catechism, has made a great impression on the people and [thanks to him], the heretics are more easily converted. The bishop is ready to serve the faith and follow the decisions of PF in all matters etc.
Additional comments
Despite the name confusion ('a congregation called of the Missionaries'), it seems that this document is in reference to the congregation of Christophe Authier, rather than that of Vincent de Paul. In support of his congregation, Authier started a rather vigorous campaign in the early 1640's: for instance, he had the bishops of Vason, Valence, Aix, and others send letters to PF recommending him and his companions. By comparison, CM had a much weaker campaign in the late 1620s.

Other documents related to Authier are also in this volume (requests for the confirmation of his congregation, written by Authier himself; requests from PF to the nuncio for information on Authier's and his associates' character; edict by the bishop of Valence referring to the "Congregation of Missionary Priests" [Authier's congregation] according to which nobody can take minor or sacred orders unless they spend 20 days under the discipline of these priests; and the statutes of this congregation (f. 434v-439v and ff). Authier also requests apostolic confirmation of his congregation in a letter (treating other subjects as well) written on 1 October 1641: APF SOCG 83, 374r, 384v (not in this database).
