Description

Petition on behalf of René Alméras, requesting to add another missionary to the group preparing to leave for Madagascar (see database item 285), considering that the ships have not yet set sail. The name of the priest is Giacomo [Jacques] Bruchan, and the petition does not mention whether he is a member of CM or not (the summary on 59v calls him a "secular priest"). Matter assigned to Cardinal Brancacci, and discussed in PF on 17 August 1665; the petition was later approved.
Date discussed 1665-08-17
