Summary A collection of 191 letters, mostly copies, 142 of which are from Cardinal Camillo Astalli (Pamphili) and 42 of which are from Cardinal Fabio Chigi (elected Pope Alexander VII in 1655). The vast majority of Astalli's letters are dated 1653; the vast majority of Chigi's letters are dated 1654 (a year before he was elected pope). A few seals and addresses are present (fol. 49v, 109v, 110v, and 116v). Several of the 42 letters from Chigi concern Carlo Massimo's retinue in Madrid (Carlo Massimo was later the patron of Velázquez, Poussin, and other artists). The 142 letters from Pamphili pertain to many aspects of Innocent X's policy toward Spain, notably attitudes towards Cardinal Sandoval (letters 6 and 136), church scandals in Milan (letter 33), the Inquisition (letter 40), and control of Naples (letters 133 and 100). The collection includes a letter to Pamphili about Neapolitan corsairs (letter 138), one to Caetano signed by Cardinal Barberini (letter 25), and 2 letters from Innocent X (letters 79 and 83), one of which is to Philip of Spain. There are also two accounts of legal processes against clerics (letters 109 and 110). Two copies of a printed leaf tipped in between letters 121 and 122 and 145 and 146 bearing the title "Innocentius PP. X. ad futuram rei memoriam" 1663. Many blank leaves throughout.
