Letter 12041: The churches in question have remaining resources — financial funds, clergy, and other assets — that need to be...

To Pantaleo, the notary. Concerning the surviving assets of certain churches, namely their moneys, their clergy, and their other property. Gregory to Pantaleo, notary. We were expecting that your Experience would make us fully and precisely informed concerning the silver of the churches, or the other items which you found, so that from your report we might have been able to deliberate in greater detail about what ought to be done. But your report did not instruct us in the matter as it should have. Therefore let it be your charge to deposit the silver of the churches, which the clergy and people hold, with those persons whom you shall have judged trustworthy, in the treasury [cimiliarchium] of the church under all care and caution, and to take back from that same deposit a receipt for what was handed over. But the silver of the churches which, on account of sins, has been abandoned by clergy and people, bring with you here. If perhaps you learn that three or four clerics from those same churches have remained, draw up a record [making known] who each one is and how he is circumstanced, or where he dwells, and bring it to us, so that, if we see it to be necessary, we may be able to determine what each of them ought to receive annually. But the items which through age may perish, likewise bring with you, so that whatever shall seem useful may be disposed of from them [...].

Exspectabamus ut nos experientia tua de argento Ecelesiarum, vel aliis quas invenit rebus, omnino subliliter redderet certiores, ut ex ejus renuntiations quod fieri debuisset deliberare minutius poluissemus.
