I. WORKS RELATING TO THE GENERAL HISTORY OF JANSENISM IN ITALY

There is much contemporary information in Les Nouvelles EccUsiastiques, 1728-1803. A note on this strange publication may not be out of place. This small newspaper appeared regularly every week in spite of the vigilance of the French Government. It was edited at first by a deacon named Boucher, then for thirty years until his death in 177I by Fontaine de la Roche, followed by Marc Guenin until the Revolutionary troubles of 1793, and finally by the Abbe Mouton, a refugee at Utrecht. All the details of how it was printed and circulated are not known, but it is certain that with the years a wide international network was established for its distribution. The Editor was only known to three persons who came to see him separately, at seven, half past seven, and at eight o'clock. These three were in touch with five other delegates, all unknown to each other, who passed on ma­terial to seven printers. Nine carriers went separately to the printers. If, within the appointed half-hour, the expected messenger did not arrive, the other fled to a certain place and passed on the alarm. From 1778 the Nouvelles pay special attention to Italy probably through the influence of Ricci and his friends.

A. Gazier in his Histoire generale du Mouvement Janseniste, Paris, 1924, vol. 2, p. 157, recommends the Nouvelles to all who would study Jansenism in Italy, but his advice has not hitherto been followed. Hence the defects in the best work on the subject yet published, A. C. Jemolo: II Giansenismo in Italia prima della Rivoluzione, Bari, 1928, xl. 440 pp.

The interest of modern Italian scholars in J ansenism seems to have been inspired by the work ofE. Rota, "11 Giansenismo in Lombardia e i prodrOIni del Risorgimento italiano," published in Raccolta di sentti storici in onore del prq[. G. Romano, Pavia, 1907. Rota had also published "11 Giansenismo dell'Universita Pavese e la questione religiosa della Republica Cisalpina," (Bolletino della Societa Pavese di storia patria, 1906, pp. 564-608) and "Per la Riforma degli studi ecclesiastici nell'Universita Pavese al tempo di Giuseppe II" (id., 1907, pp. 402-412).

The chief students of the political side of Jansenism after Rota are -N. Rodolico, Gli Amici e i tempi di Scipione dei Ricci, Saggio suI Giansenismo Italiano, Florence, I920, A. Parisi, I rijlessi del giansenismo nella letteratura italiana, Catania, I9I9, and F. Landogna, Giuseppe Mazzini e il pensiero giansenistico, Bologna, I 92 I.

Jemolo and his master, F. Ruffini, show a better understanding of the theological position of the Jansenists.

I 925: "Natura e grazia, libero arbitrio e predestinazione secondo la dottrina giansenistica," in Atti della R.

Rota defends his earlier thesis in: Razionalismo e stoicismo, Nuova Rivista Storica, a. I, I917, pp. 312 etc., 602, and in a larger work: Giuseppe Poggi e La formazione del patriota moderno (1761-1843), Piacenza, 1923, (Bibliot. storica piacentina, vol. xi).

Earlier studies are generally unsatisfactory. The best of them is the earliest in date: De Spectro Jansenismi in T uscia, Tubingae, 1789 (Bod. Diss. X. 10, no. 13). This is a valuable study because it is written by Lutheran theologians with absolute impartiality.

Gioberti is hostile both to Jesuits and Jansenists and maintains that the Jesuits cannot thrive unless Jansenism is revived.

Denzinger, Enchiridion Symbolorum does not give the complete text of the Bull but gives all the condemned propositions.

It should be noted that the Synod was abrogated by Ricci's successor in a pastoral letter, May 1792: - Lfftera pastorale di Mons. Francesco Falchi, Vescovo di Pistoja e Prato, Florence, 1792.

VIII. CONTROVERSIAL WRITINGS ABOUT PISTOIA

A. Adverse Critics

1788 The most popular and influential attack on Pistoia was that attributed to

G. Marchetti. Annotazioni pacijiche di un Parrocco Cattolico a Mons. Vescovo di Pistoja e Prato sopra la sua leUera pastorale de' 5 Ottobre 1787, (Rome), 1788, (B.M. 3902, f. 7). See also fifth edition revised, 1788 (B.M. 1352, C. II). Then followed Annotazioni pacijiche confermate, Rome, 1788, 2 parts (B.M. 1356. b. 12.2) - an answer to the new pastoral of Ricci (18 May, 1788), to two lectures by Tamburini, and to the "Letters from Finale" of Ricci's friend, the Abate del Mare; for which see under VIn B. There was a French translation of the Annotazioni, 2 vols. Paris, 1789.

D. ]. Fuensalida, S.]., who wrote later a serious work against Pistoia,

It is only natural that controversial writings against Pistoia should now become fewer as the Roman condemnation was published in 1794; another reason is that the invasion of Italy by the French Republicans gave theo­logians other more pressing problems such as the temporal claims of the Papacy, the legitimacy of the republican oath, etc. These events may have delayed Cardinal Gerdil's reply to Solari, Bishop of Noli, Esame de' motivi della opposizione Jatta da Mons. vescovo di Noli aUa publicazione della Bolla Auctorem Fidei, preceduto dail' esame delle Riflesspreliminari dell' anonimo editore de' medesimi; opera del C.G.G. (Cardinal Giacinto Gerdil), parte prima, Rome, 1800, p. seconda, Rome, 1801.

The Pistoian controversy did not meet with much attention in the nineteenth century: - F.

1790 Ricci's old friend Dom Giuseppe Pujati entered the lists with: La Vene-

rabile Antichita, argomento di due lettere di G. P. a Mons. S. de Ricci, etc. 1790. (B.M. 1352. d)

The events of the French Revolution and the reactionary policy that had already set in before the death of Joseph II seem to have stilled the voice of the supporters of Pistoia for a time. The remaining pamphlets are published when there is a certain liberty once more through the progress of the Revolution.

APPENDIX A

A VALUABLE SOURCE WORK ON THE AFTERMATH OF PISTOIA

In 1938 Pietro Savio published an imposing volume with a deceptive title: Devozione di Mgr. A. Turchi aUa Santa Sede (Rome, L'ltalia Frances­cana). The title is deceptive, because although the work consecrates two hundred pages to show that Turchi, Capuchin Bishop of Parma at the time of Pistoia, supported the Holy See, it follows up with some eight hundred and fifty pages of unpublished documents on Italian Jansenism. All these documents are letters from the Vatican archives, and they shed a remarka­ble light on the thinking of many supporters of Pistoia.

A great number of the letters were addressed to the Abbe Degola by friends of Pi stoia in Italy, France, and Holland. Degola did more than any other ecclesiastic to keep alive the memory of Port Royal in the years that followed the French Revolution. The last letter to Degola is in 1824 and concerns the Jansenist properties at Utrecht and Amersfoort.

Some of the correspondence is in French, but most of it in Italian. The editor had sometimes accompanied the text of the letters with learned notes.

The integral text as published by Savio is of value to the specialist, but a judicious selection of some of the best pages could be made into the basis of a study on the survival of Port Royal and Pistoia into the 19th century. The Nouvelles Ecclesiastiques contain valuable material until the end of the 18th century. The scattered elements have yet to be made into a connected history. This is all the more to be desired because Savio and other sources are out of print.

If the present study of Pistoia is well received, the author hopes to publish a succeeding volume.

APPENDIX B

THE MOST RECENT PUBLICATIONS ON ITALIAN JANSENISM

Italian writers do not give this subject the attention that it deserves. Some recent publications are on the whole superficial and add nothing of importance to the material published in this volume or in other studies. Some of these writers show no advance on the former defenders of Auctorem Fidei, critics of Pistoia.

M. Rosa: Italian Jansenism and the Synod of Pistoia, in Concilium, v. 7, Sept. 1966, pp. 19-26.

M. Batelori: El Conciliabolo di Pistoia, in Analecta Gregoriana, v. 71, 1954, pp. 259-266.

F. Magiotta Broglio: Appunti Storigrafici sui Giansenismo Italiano, in Raccolta in onore A. C. Jemolo, v. I, 1962, pp. 791-894, Milan.

Also articles by E. Passerini d'Entreves, especially in Riv. di Storia della Chiesa in Italia, vols 7-9, 1953-55. Riv. Storica Italiana, 1959.

Of more interest is M. Vaussard: Jansenisme et Gallicanisme aux origines du Risorgimento, Paris, 1959.

APPENDIX C

PISTOIA AND THE ECUMENICAL IDEAL

The fact that the Council of Pi stoia won international fame as a movement for reform aroused the sympathy of Protestant churches in various countries - Holland, Germany, Switzerland. The fact that the British Museum copy of the Acts of Pistoia is from the library of King George III would seem to indicate some impact upon England.

The preface to Ricci's pastoral letter in defence of the Council explicitly sets forth the ecumenical ideal. There is an impassioned plea for a general reform of the Latin Church, which might hasten "the longed for Reunion of Dissident Christians." This reform had already been set forth by one of the mentors of Pistoia, Febronius, in his work entitled: "On the state of the Church and on the legitimate power of the Roman Pontiff - a work to promote the Reunion of Dissidents in the Christian faith."

In this way Pistoia anticipated, as in so many other fields, the currents of thought that are dominant in the XXth century. Perhaps if Pope John XXIII had lived longer, the work of Council Vatican II might have adopted more of the reforms set forth at Pistoia.

The fact that as early as 1789 Tubingen produced a work: "On the spectre of Jansenism in Tuscany" shows the interest of some Lutherans at this time. We have records of the disappointment expressed by Protestants in Germany, Holland, and Switzerland, when they heard that the Bishop of Pistoia was supposed to have retracted.

The influence of Port Royal in its French and Gallican aspects continued to interest certain English scholars in the XIXth century, as witness the fine Jansenist collections at Keble College; Oxford, and Sion College, London, not mention the fine Pistoia collections at the British Museum and the Bodleian.

If there is no outstanding record of contacts between Pistoia and the Eastern Church, this does not necessarily imply a lack of affinity. The love of the Pistoians for the ancient Fathers must have brought them close to the traditional thought of the Eastern Church. Ricci stated that "the study of antiquity is the true means of freeing oneself from certain prejudices that have been rooted for centuries in the minds of ordinary people." The Pistoian ideal belongs to the united Church of antiquity.
