Description
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
Two letters from Giovanni Andrea Grella, slave in Tunis, to PF which are very similar in content. Grella sent two letters due to fears that his first one (of which he also had sent a duplicate) would not arrive. He explains that they did not tell the Dey of Tunis that the money that he had promised for the ransoming of a slave had been recovered by PF, because otherwise the Christians in Tunis might be mistreated. The Dey is already threatening to imprison the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher], and will compensate his monetary loss through the siezing of any non-English merchant ship, or any alms that arrive in the city. Grella therefore asks that PF puts the sum of 1,000 pezze in the hands of a trusted person (or the superior of CM in Rome), so that whenever it is needed, the governor could send certifying proof and compensation for the damage. Grella also asks PF to write to the Duchess of Mondragone and ask her to release one of her slaves, called Agrimut. The price for Grella's own freedom is 700 pezze, an amount he owes, but his master does not want to free anyone if Agrimut does not return. A summary follows on f. 48r-v, which shows that PF secretary believes the Maltese [Giuseppe and Francesco Guevara] do not have any right to the money.

Description
An account of the resource
Summary of the reports from the Barbaria mission. In July 1672 the provicar of Tunis sent a letter to PF, stating that in Malta two young girls were converted to Christianity. Because they wanted to gather more information, they wrote to the inquisitor who informed them that for ten years there had been a slave in Malta with two daughters, who were all bought by a Maltese. After ten years, the woman ransomed herself and went to Tunis (her home country), to collect money and ransom her children as well. Her daughters converted to Christianity during her absense, which was completely voluntarily. When the mother returned and saw her children had converted, she was very angry. Because of this PF sent a letter dated 19 December to the provicar of Tunis. PF informed him about the situation, and ordered him to make sure that the slaves were well treated, and were not being forced to convert.
The inquisitor stated that the woman (who was taken slave again), wanted to talk with her children, and to follow their example; she wanted the opportunity to travel to Tunis again, in order to collect the ransom of 400 (no currency given), after which she wanted to return to Malta and live their with her daughters.

PF summary of SOCG 317, 66r-v and SOCG 317, 67r [1658], reporting that several slave priests in Tunis have accused the apostolic vicar Jean Le Vacher, of abusing his office for self-enrichment. The superior of CM [in Rome, Edme Jolly] says that, on the contrary, Le Vacher is a most pious man who has done much for the conversion of heretics, and the consolation of the poor. CM affirms that his authority should be strengthened to prevent the problems that existed before his arrival, namely that certain priests were selling sacraments. The summary is undated and unsigned.

An account of the resource
Summary of the case of Luigi Da Palermo. The Capuchin Commissary General Gios'e Da Ica [Gioseppe Da Ica] has brought a case to PF against Luigi [Da Palermo]. He reports that Luigi did not live a good religious life, and that he took 250 piastre from the church. Luigi said he used this money to ransom two Spanish slaves, and because he feared punishment he fled from Palermo to Rome. He also claims that Gioseppe is persecuting him for private reasons, and that he actually spent the money to ransom Pietro De Salorsano and Giseppe Di Leona. He asks PF to investigate the case and protect his reputation. Luigi Da Palermo also presented a letter written by Luigi De Losio, but because he forgot his duty, he went to Sicily. PF decided in the meeting of 6 October 1671, in presence of the pope, to deprive Luigi Da Palermo of his active and passive voice. After this decision was passed down, Luigi Da Palermo has presented documents asking to restore his active and passive voice. Its noted that he had been forced to leave the mission for the following reasons: a) he had to protect and control the ransoming in his native Palermo; b) he had to bring Filippo Brescia from Trapani back to Christianity, as he had spontaneously travelled to Tunis to convert himself; and c) he has written to both PF and Levacher [Jean Le Vacher] for over a year, but has yet to recieve a response. He has started to believe that all his letters have been lost, therefore he believed it would be best for him to travel to Rome himself, leaving the city in the good hands of the other missionaries. The father general thinks that Luigi should be granted the grace he is asking for.

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.

An account of the resource
Statement from Delebar, Delorme, Guiraud, Reymond, Boisson, Amarroty, Casthellane. They declare that Hierosme de Sasseri [Girolamo Da Sassari] and Antoine de Saravezza [Antonio Di Seravezza] were forced to flee from Tunis because of the violent persecution of Jean Ambrozin, the consul in Tunis. Da Sassari had to leave because he demanded that Ambrozin give money to the church. Di Seravezza had to leave for the same reason but also because he wanted to burn a woman that was living with the French consul. In the statement, it is noted that Di Seravezza did many things for the poor Christian slaves, he even went to Malta to secure better treatment for the Turkish slaves there, so that the Turks would treat their Christian slaves better.

Seravezza case
Description
An account of the resource
Copy of a statement on behalf of Antonio Di Seravezza, a Minor Observant from Rome, who also served as vicar apostolic in Tunis and Tripoli for three years, after he received this authority by Girolamo Da Sassari. In September 1668 he left Tunis for Rome. The French consul in Tunis, Giovanni Ambrogini [Jean Ambrozin] should have collected alms for S. Antonio Abate, in order to buy the necessary things for the church, and also in order to conserve the churchyard; he should also have bought a gift for the Agha. The consul has always been aware of this, but never said anything to the church nor given alms. For this reason Girolamo Da Sassari (the apostolic vicar at the time), threatened to report the case to the pope and the king of France, if the consul would not concede the alms to the church; the consul responded that he did not know any pope, cardinal or king, after which Girolamo Da Sassari was forced to leave. Knowing that his abscence would leave the community without a leader, he [Da Sassari] decided to leave Antonio Di Seravezza in his place. The latter left the bagno of S.ta Lucia and took the room in the house of the consul, that Girolamo Da Sassari had previously used. In December 1669 a French woman called Chiara was ransomed, the greater part was paid by the merchants and slaves. The consul gave the woman a room in his residence very close to his own, and next to the chapel and the altar. When Antonio Di Seravezza said the midnight mass of Easter in the chapel of the consulate, there were many merchants and slaves present, only the consul and Chiara were absent. When he asked the merchants and slaves were they were, they said that the consul had laid in bed with the woman. After this night a servant of the consul named Pietro went to the room of Di Seravezza and asked him to do something about the scandalous situation of his master. At Easter Di Seravezza said mass in all the chapels, after which he went to the consulate where he begged the consul to put the woman on a ship that would soon leave for France. The consul responded, saying that the woman did not want to go to France but to Livorno, in order to be able to travel to Sardinia where her husband lived. Di Seravezza was trying to help the consul, but he took offence and continued in his vice. All the nations started saying that the residence of the French consul was a public brothel, but the consul kept refusing to send the woman away. During Ascension Di Seravezza went to all the bagni to take confessions, after which he returned very tired to the consulate. When passing by the room of the consul, he saw things he cannot describe. He told the consul that he was not living a Christian life, that he would leave his residence, and that the consul should take in mind that his room was so close to the Holy sacrament. The consul responded by stating that he would remove the sacrament, and that he could do whatever he wanted in his own residence; the consul later beat Di Seravezza with a stick and told him that he had to leave his house. He moved to the bagno of S. Leonardo, and the sacrament was also moved. The consul went to the Bey and told him that Di Seravezza had remained in Tunis, in order to make the slaves and renegades flee. Di Seravezza was arrested and beaten up, and as they were about to enslave him, the highest person after the Agha said that he never heard any bad things about Di Seravezza, stating that he risked his own life by going to Malta to mediate for the Christian slaves. He was saved by this person, and he told Di Seravezza that he has always done good things, and that he should not live with the consul anymore. The Agha then went to the consul and orded him to send the woman away, after which she was sent to Livorno. The consul kept trying to condemn Di Seravezza, but with God's help, the Turks kept saving him. In July 1669 Di Seravezza converted two jews, who were named Giuseppe and Angiolo, and stayed in the house of a merchant named Labar. The consul used this situation to his advantage, by saying to the Bey that he already warned him about this, but that he did not want to believe him. The two rennegades were found in the house of Labar. When they were questioned they answered that they were Christians and that they were converted by God. They were tortured and confessed that it had been Di Seravezza who converted them. After being tortured they said that they wanted to become Turks, and because of the consul, these two souls were lost. The consul paid Turks and rennegades to beat Di Seravezza. Afterwards, the merchants and slaves decided that he had to go to Marseille. There in the convent he received a visit from Monsù Pras, who told Di Seravezza that he should be patient, as it would take another year until Ambrozin's consulate would be over. Di Seravezza said that this was too long, and that he could not leave five or six thousand souls without mass or the possibility to confess; Di Seravezza insisted that he [Pras] should think about the interests of the church, and about the Missione della Servitù that had made him chaplain; Monsù Pras only laughed about this, and Di Seravezza said that if he laughed about such a serious matter, he would go to Paris and plead his case to the king. Pras said that he would never reach Paris, and even if he did he would not get an audience. Di Seravezza responded by saying that he would bring his case to Rome. Eventually he decided to stay in Rome, as he did not want to make such a long trip for little purpose. However as it was winter and he was old, he decided to stay in Marseille. After the consuls of the cities visited him, and he told them everything about the case, and they had read the reports from merchants and slaves from Tunis, they told him that justice would be done; they would try to remove Amrozin from the consulate in order to let Di Seravezza resume his position as vicar apostolic.

Description
An account of the resource
The Trinitarian procurator states that his order always has mantained hospitals in Algiers, founded at their own expense. From the Holy See they received privileges to find churches and administer the sacraments. They had been doing this for 16 years, when Gio Levacher [Jean Le Vacher] the vicar apostolic, wanted to change the title of the Church of the Holy Trinity to S. Louis; he also wanted to change the name of S. John of Malta to S. Roch. Because the priests protested against this, Le Vacher decided to remove the cross that was painted on the main altar, and the arms of the king of Spain on the door outside. Moreover, he also wanted to take the Holy sacrament from the churches. They ask PF not to harass the Trinitarian priests, and not to change their privileges because of the following problems: a) the hospitals are in the bagnos whose doors close at midnight, and it might be that during the night one of the patients needs the viaticum; b) the slaves want to confess and receive the eucharist, before going to the houses of their masters; c) there are 10,000 slaves, and in the chapel of the vicar there is only room for 12 people; d) during the day when the vicar is not at home the viaticum might be needed; and e) there could occur an incident with the sacrament, when bringing it from the house of the vicar, to the hospital. The Trinitarian Fathers base their priviliges on a breve from Clemens VIII of 31 August 1596, of Paul V of 8 February 1608 and on a confirmation of Pope [Innocens XII] of 27 June 1693. The first two popes gave the priests faculties for ten years. From Paul V onwards however they are without an extention, and not contain the privilege for celebrating mass twice a day. The breve of the pope gives the priests some faculties, but limits them by stating that they may not be contrary to the Holy canonics, and to the decrees of the council of Trento; according to the council, they should be submitted to the jurisdiction of the vicar apostolic. Moreover, when Clemens VIII and Paul V granted the faculties, they added a clause that shows that they did not want to undermine the ordinary authority. PF secretary adds that on 9 September 1652 they decided that Gio' Leuacher [Jean Le Vacher] could submit everyone (priests or captives) to his authority, with the faculty to punish them if necessary, in order to remove the abuses from the city of Tunis. [Philippe Le Vacher] then on 28 June 1660 reported the scandals commited by many priests (both slaves and free), pretending not to be submitted to his authority. That is why the vicar in Algiers, got the same faculties as those in Tunis. This was not yet enough to settle the conflict against the Trinitarians. On 28 February 1673 it was necessary to forbid the priests for some time (in particular one of the administrators Bartolomeo Da Serrano), to use the sacraments without the license of the vicar. Eventually Bartolomeo was recalled from Algiers. On 11 September 1679 the Trinitarians complained that first of all, the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] took their coat of arms from the hospital. Secondly, he forbade them to keep the Holy sacrament and thirdly, he forced them to accept heretic patients in the hospitals. For the first it was decided that the vicar should not do this again. For the third it was decided that the heretic patients should be kept apart from the Catholics. For the second PF wanted to know why the vicar decided to forbid this. PF forbade the Trinitarians, administrators, or any other priests of this order, to stay or exercise jurisdiction in that city without the permission of the vicar apostolic. On 3 February 1688 it was written to the Trinitarian superiors and the nuncio to Spain, that whilst the vicar had suspended some priests, the Father Antonio d'Espinosa (administrator of the hospital), had given the Trinitarians permission to celebrate mass in his chapel, and administer the sacraments. One of the priests was questioned about this, and said that he was free and not dependent on anyone. He said that the priests had their own privileges and could do whatever they wanted. The new vicar apostolic, D. Lorenzo, reported the same complaints against the Trinitariansto PF. The order however kept persisting in their independency from the vicar. The vicar consequently asked for a decree, ordering that the Trinitarians would be subjected to his authority despite their privileges. On 11 May [1644?] it was decided to renew this decree. After this, the Trinitarians sent letters to PF complaining about the new decree.
Additional comments
The document says that Jean Le Vacher brought the scandals to PF on 28 June 1660. There is no such document of his to be found. There is however (on this date), a discussion of complaints by Philippe Le Vacher (Jean's brother) see: APF ACTA 29, 157r, 162v-163r, issue 8 (database item 476).

Description
An account of the resource
The letter begins with a list of 19 subjects from the papal states, that are slaves in Algiers. Because nobody is trying to free them, there are many subjects of the pope still in slavery in Tunis. They do not profit from the services of the orders of redemption. This could be solved easily by writing to the bishops of the four provinces of the papal states. They should ask them to elect the most capable persons to collect alms, that can contribute in the freeing of the subjects.

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF General meeting of 30 September 1682 discussing amongst other issues, the case of Vincenzo Frascati and Francesco Gatta (which was dicussed during PF meeting of 8 April 1680). They are both missionaries in Tunis, and its believed that should there have not been so many public scandals concerning the areas local priests, they would have had better results with the Christian slaves. PF decided to write the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher], to gain more information about the issue. The vicar apostolic offered PF his apologies for his delayed response, as it took more than a year for him to receive the letter. His response contained information from the Provicar [of Algiers, Giuseppe Maria Da Bologna], and two missionaries [Vincenzo Da Frascati and Francesco Gatta]. The first scandal was committed by Antonio Calendino, a slave from Coscenza. He acted as a clown and played the guitar with the Ciaia of his Turkish patron, and feasted with prostitutes. He threatened the missionaries to let him say mass, even though he did not have any papers proving that he was a priest. He also told the missionaries that he commited a murder in Napels and had been imprisoned for four years. Eventually he left for Livorno.
The second case was Diego D'Avolos, a Spanish Mercenarian, who was killed by a gunshot in a case involving the wife of a rennegade. During the same incident, another priest Giovanni Pelij was also hurt. He was not allowed to say mass for a month to punish him, and after this he has led a better life. The third case was caused by Felice da Marta, a Minim priest, who won 80 pezze from Giuseppe Calabro (a slave of the Pasca), who forced Felice to pay the money back. Afterwards it was easy to apprehend him, since he was no longer the slave of an influential person. The fourth priest to cause a scandal was Carlo della Maltese, a Franciscan. Whilst playing cards with a Greek they got into a fight, which caused blood to be shed. When the Bey found out, he had the Greek imprisoned and rounded up all the missionaries to ask them whether it was allowed for a priest to play cards. The missionaries informed him that it was not allowed, and insisted that it was absolutely forbidden. The Bey handed the priest over to the missionaries, and told them to punish him. The Greek was again enslaved, and due to the Greeks attempting to also enslave Felice, he was sent on a ship travelling to Livorno. Le Vacher also wrote that the small island of Tabarca and at another place called Caponegro (which were both part of the kingdom of Tunis) are inhabited by Genoese. In Tabarca there are some Augustinians, and in the other place a Trinitarian. Le Vacher does not know whether they were given permission to travel to these areas, and also if they have the authority to act as priests. He asks PF to clarify if these two places are subjected to his vicariate. Le Vacher concluded the letter, by informing PF of his happiness at the impending arrival of Mercedarian priests of Aragon and Andalusia.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 7 February 1678 discussing among other issues, a letter from Francesco Gatta, a missionary in Barbary. He writes about a Spanish boy who has endured many sufferings at the hands of his brothers and Father, who took him to Tunis with the express intention of converting to Judaism. They themselves had already converted, however he refused, despite the many beatings he suffered over the course of the year. The cardinals decide that the boy should receive protection, and that a certain "Julio de Angelino," from Livorno should be contacted, in order to find out whether the boy arrived in Livorno, or if there is any news about him.

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF general meeting of 26 June 1674 discussing among other issues, a letter from Carlo d'Ancona. Jean Le Vacher, vicar apostolic in Algiers, has sent him to be provicar in Tunis. D'Ancona reports on the state of the mission, and mentions that he found five priests (four slaves and one free). The latter Marcello Costa is a good priest, but the rest are mediocre, and cannot be trusted to have interests other than their liberty. D'Ancona thinks that the care of a bagnos should not be given to slave priests in the future. He also asks how to deal with a certain slave priest who wants to work in multiple bagnos, even though he has to celebrate mass with chains around his feet. Since D'Ancona has heard few good things about this priest, he asks whether he should let him continue his service or withdraw it altogether. The cardinals agree with the second proposition. Lastly, D'Ancona asks that PF confirm the patents that Le Vacher had given him, but the cardinals decide that there is no need to do so.

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF general meeting of 30 May 1672 discussing among other issues, a letter from the vicar apostolic of Algiers [Jean Le Vacher] from 13 November. He requests PF to decide among the following options: a) that the Capuchin Father Luigi Da Palermo be sent back to the mission; b) that the superior general of the Capuchins send another Capuchin; or c) that the Capuchins help the vicar apostolic to ransom another priest who would substitute Luigi Da Palermo. The vicar apostolic thinks that the last option will be easily accepted by the order, because he came to know that the Fathers of Sicily already had money to ransom Luigi Da Palermo (but the vicar apostolic had already ransomed him with his own money). The general procurator of the Capuchins has nominated two candidates to go to that area, Gioseppe [Giuseppe] Maria da Bologna and Francesco d'Arcidosso. In his letter of 23 March, the Minor Observant Elescario Boullard writes that after he arrived in Tunis, the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] wrote to Marcello Costa (a missionary in Tunis), that he should make Boullard leave. This has been confirmed by Leorardo Omodei, the leader of the ransom organisation in Sicily. The cardinals decide to approve the two candidates for the mission proposed by the procurator general and that they should be given missionary faculties. The vicar apostolic and the superiors of the Minor Observants should request that Boullard leaves the mission.

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF general meeting of 10 November 1670 discussing among other issues, letters from the Capuchin Girolamo Da Sassari, (vice prefect to Algiers), the Minor Observant Antonio Di Seravezza (who worked in Algiers without patents of PF), and from others. The summary recounts the following: a) Jean Le Vacher was vicar apostolic in Tunis, until he left the city because of troubles with the consul of France [Jean Ambrozin]; b) Girolamo Da Sassari who was subsequently appointed by PF as vice prefect, had to leave the mission for the same reason; and c) Antonio Di Seravezza continued to live in Tunis, but never wrote to PF. When he did write, his letters were from Marseille, and he signed as vicar apostolic, despite not even being appointed missionary by PF. He wrote to the nuncio complaining about the consul and about Colbert, and the nuncio believed him and tried to remedy the issue. The conclusion from these letters reported on the summary is: 1) that Di Seravezza is dishonest and untrustworthy, and that it is not difficult to remedy this problem; 2) that something should be done about the consul, however this will be more difficult to remedy. The summary also discusses a letter from Girolamo Da Sassari to Antonio Di Seravezza, which includes false information about PF's position on the whole issue, e.g. that PF would have decided that the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] should not interfere in the Tunis mission despite him being granted vicar apostolic of the mission as well. Lastly, a letter is discussed from Antonio Di Seravezza to the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] in which: a) he complains about the consul; b) he reports to have sent Minor Observants to Tripoli, and tjhat he also wants to send others to Tunis; and c) he tells the vicar apostolic not to interfere with the Tunis mission, assuming that PF commissioned this mission to him (although he did not even receive missionary patents). The cardinals decide the following on the whole issue: 1) the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] should be written to regarding information about the consul; 2) the superior of the Minor Observants should recall Antonio Di Seravezza back from the mission; and 3) the patents that Girolamo Da Sassari received should be revoked.

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF general meeting of 25 September 1659 discussing among other issues, complaints from the Christian slaves in Tunis, who say that the Muslim slaves (who live on the pope's galleys or lands, as well as those held on Malta), have reported to the divan in Tunis that they were forced to convert to Christianity. In response, the authorities in Tunis threaten to force the Christian slaves in their city to convert to Islam; the Christian slaves in Tunis ask that a solution be found. The vicar apostolic of Tunis [Jean Le Vacher] says that the complaints stem from the fact that in Malta, the Muslim slaves are forced to listen to catechesis on Sundays and on feast days, and if one of the slaves becomes ill, he is handed over to a Christian in order to be converted. According to the apostolic vicar, the ruler of Tunis was ready to retaliate by submitting the Christian slaves to similar treatment; only Le Vacher's promise that he would change the situation in Malta and on the papal lands, convinced him to stop. The vicar suggests that it would be wise to moderate the zeal of the Maltese, because "what is accomplished in Malta by means of persuasion, in Tunis will be done by means of beatings." The cardinals do not make any decision on the matter.

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF general meeting of 11 July 1658 (in the presence of the pope), discussing among other issues, several complaints from two secular slave priests, and one Minor Observant in Tunis [Gregorio Bianchelli, Jacobo Vilar and Leonardo da Milano]. They accuse their vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher], of forcing them to join him for mass on several Sundays, of being involved in commerce, and of being a strict and stubborn man who threatens them with ecclesiastical suspension. The superior of CM in Rome [Thomas Bérthe] states that the vicar [Le Vacher] is a very zealous servant of God who is anything but avaricious, and that he only insists on these priests being present at mass for the consolation of the slaves. The superior moreover says that it is important to support his authority, because otherwise the disorders that prevailed before his arrival will return. PF secretary merely notes that the letter "has been read" ("lectum").

Minutes of PF general meeting of 12 November 1657 discussing among other issues, the request by Vincent de Paul that the vicars apostolic in Tunis and Algiers, may be allowed to exercise the office of consul in these cities. He sees no other possibility of keeping them there, since the rulers do not allow free priests to reside in their city; the only exception is if they are chaplains of the consul, however, the king of France does not want to send consuls for now. If the cardinals agree, then he also asks for the renewal of the faculties of vicar apostolic for both of them. Rescript: "Lectum" (has been read).

An account of the resource
Minutes of PF general meeting of 3 February 1656 in the presence of the pope, discussing among other issues, a request by Jean Le Vacher. He asks to be given the faculties to consecrate chalices and alter stones, and to bless priestly vestments. The cardinals state that they see no objection, and that it would be useful to give him these faculties since there is no bishop in the area. They also note that it is difficult to transport these goods, due to the danger of them falling into the hands of the Turks. The pope agrees, and orders to send the request to the Holy Office.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 12 July 1655 discussing among other matters, a petition by Jean Le Vacher (CM priest and vicar apostolic in Tunis).

This is to prevent the ruler of Tunis depriving the Christians in the city, of their own place of burial. The cardinals decide that PF secretary should discuss this matter with the general treasurer of the pope.
