1 This article cannot hope to repeat all the bibliography given in the original one, which is found on pp. 38–52 of the 1985/1 issue.

4 Before undertaking any research in the manuscripts of the Archivum Romanum, S.I., one should consult all the documental series published by the Order. These include not only documentation from the Archivum Romanum, but from many other sources as well. And they contain model indices and scholarly apparatus.

6 Gaining admission to the Archivio Segreto Vaticano, by the way, involves slightly more formality than does admission to the archives of the two Orders just mentioned. The Archivio Segreto publishes a little booklet, sent on request, called ‘Vademecum per gli studiosi’. It admits qualified scholars without regard to nation or religion, but one needs to submit a letter addressed to the ‘S. Padre’ – I guess meaning the Pope – briefly setting forth one's program of study, plus a supporting letter from one ‘Istituto culturale’, i.e. university or sponsoring foundation. As Father Edwards had suggested, the Archivio Segreto is better equipped to make photograms, and there is no specified limit. But the price is high – they cost lit. 500 per frame.
