XLV. Taxes des Parties Casuelles de la
Boutique du Pape^ Redigees par Jean XXil.
et publiees par Leon X. selon laquelle on absout,
&c. Par M. Julien de Saint Achenl. Paris,
chez les Libraires de Theologie, 1820, in 8.
This edition has restored the first part of the
title of Du Pinet's, of which it is a re-impres-
sion: but it is singularly unfortunate in the
remainder, particularly in the implication, that
these are the same Taxae as those published by
Leo X. And it is • likewise a matter of sur-
prise, that writing after Marchand, the editor
should apparently have taken no advantage of
the great accession of information on this sub-
ject contained in the Diet. Historiqne. No
advance whatever is made in critical informa-
tion ; and the new matter might without loss
have been spared. It occupies 528 pages with
an Index. In the last edition of £ayie's Diet,
in a note under Finet, we are informed that this
edition appeared in Spanish in 1822.
The very important MS. Collection of the
Taxae in the British Museum will be shortly
noticed, and presented in considerable detail.
From an examination of the contents of
several of the preceding volumes, it appears
that they belong to two distinct classes.
