Acts of Roman Congregations - Collections

Collections

Many of the acts are accessible in the various collections, which several of the Congregations have permitted to be published. Some of these collections are also authentic, inasmuch as their genuineness and authenticity are vouched for by the authorities of the Congregations. Moreover, editors of periodicals on ecclesiastical subjects have been allowed for several years back to publish in their magazines the acts of the Congregations, and one of these periodicals, Acta Sanctae Sedis, received the privilege of being declared "authentic and official for publishing the acts of the Apostolic See" (S.C. de Prop. Fid., 23 May 1904). The following is a list of major collections:

• Collectanea S. Congr. de Propaganda Fide (Rome, 1893);
• Thesaurus Resolutionum S. Congr. Concilii (Rome, 1718);
• Zamboni, Collectio Declarationum S.C. Concilii (Arras, 1860);
• Pallottini, Collectio Conclusionum et Resolutionum S.C. Concilii (Rome, 1868–93);
