 Thanks René.

The ARSI includes mainly the following administrative papers : registers of
letters from the Generals of the Jesuit Order to the various provinces, a
series of catalogues of the provinces giving data on individual Jesuits,
annual reports from the provinces and histories of the missions and
provinces. In 1873 the "new archive" (from 1814 to 1873) goes to Fiesole
with Beckx, and the old one (from 1540 to 1773) to the German College
(palazzo Borromeo), then to Exaten (I should have checked the place !). I'm
not sure that some of these papers belonged to Petrus Beckx's private
library, understood as the personal library of the General (in accordance
with these Jesuit subtilities). Do you got some details on the topic ?

Right. You mean that the Library Vittorio Emanuele II was the "normal"
destination for the manuscripts and books preserved in the Biblioteca Major
of the Collegio Romano in 1873.

Never seen, but the name of Martina is promising.

I have also some references in Roma Moderna e Contemporanea, but they are
indeed hard to find here.
