Notes by PF secretary [Francesco Ingoli] about the CM [1628], Rome

CM petitions

France (missions in)

Summary of Vincent de Paul's petition for approval of CM, with PF Secretary Ingoli's (unfavorable) opinion on the matter; Cardinal Bentivoglio was charged to present the matter in the PF general meeting of 22 August 1628.

Date discussed 1628-08-22

Additional comments

This document questions the idea put forth in P. Coste, Saint Vincent de Paul: correspondance, entretiens, documents (1920-25) vol. I, doc. 26 (footnote) that the rejection of the petition was due to Cardinal Bentivoglio's "unfavorable report." It seems that Ingoli had made up his mind about the request before charging Bentivoglio with the matter, or in any case before the PF general meeting of 22 August 1628. See the corresponding minutes in ACTA. See also Coppo's comments in A. Coppo, 'Documenti inediti per la storia della Congregazione della Missione, presso l'archivio della S. C. 'De Propaganda Fide,'' Annali della Missione 79:3-4 (1972), 37-65, here 47, 49-51.

Coste, ed., Saint Vincent de Paul: correspondance, entretiens, documents (Paris: 1920-25), vol. 13, doc. 72.; note on 48v published in the original Italian (with one word modernized) and Latin, and analyzed by A. Coppo in "Documenti inediti per la storia della Congregazione della Missione, presso l'archivio della S. C. "De Propaganda Fide,''' Annali della Missione79:3-4 (1972): 37-65, here 45-47. Coste's transcription is mostly faithful to the original, with modernized words ('aver' for 'haver', etc.), the omission of some punctuation (especially commas), and the elimination of capital letters for nouns within phrases. There are also a few other minor discrepancies (see attached file).
