Most Blessed Father

[1-13] Having had printed with the money that came from the expenses of the canonization of Saint Raymond a Summa of Cases compiled by the said Saint which many treatise writers have used for their writings, and so that in the Papal State these books could be sold without danger of other [competing] publications, Your Holiness deigned to grant to Father Brother Miquel Llot of the order of Saint Dominic a privilege so that no printer, bookseller, or any other person whatsoever might sell or print the said book in the Papal State for ten years without the express permission of the said Father Llot, and because the said books have been suspended for many years without being distributed nor satisfying the creditors, the decision was taken to sell the said books to a bookseller, and indeed Giovanni Tallini, a bookseller in Rome, has bought them, with the express agreement that the favor previously granted by Your Holiness in the said privilege to Father Llot be transferred in his [Tallini’s] favor. Therefore, the Duke of Sessa petitions Your Holiness to do him the favor of granting to the said bookseller the same favor, derogating from that of Father Llot with which in this respect some satisfaction will be given to the said creditors, and the said Duke will receive it by the most singular favor of Your holiness.


²⁸ When translating the names of comparatively well-known figures like saints, kings, and popes, we have chosen to anglicize in order to avoid confusion. When translating the names of lesser known individuals, we have chosen contemporary spellings consistent with that person’s country of origin.
