Item 2 - Photocopies of two reports on the interviews between Pope Gregory XVI and Czar Nicholas I of Russia, 1845

2 items, paper

Photocopies of two reports on the interviews between Pope Gregory XVI and Czar Nicholas I of Russia, 1845:

(i) 'Relazione dell' udienza data S. Padre a S.M. L'Imperatore di tutte le Russie nella mattina dei 13 Dicembre 1845'. (23 pp)

(ii) 'Relazione della seconda ed ultima udienza data dalla Santità di Nostro Signore a S.M. L'Imperatore delle Russie nella mattina dei 17 Dicembre 1845'. (22 pp)

Letters by Stephen Gaselee (3 and 17 March 1943) suggest that printing or publishing these documents in their entirety would require the permission of the Vatican; though there would be no objection to a published résumé, such as that already made in A. Boudou The Saint-Siège et la Russie: leurs relations diplomatiques au XIXe siècle (Paris, 1922) Vol. I 1814-47 Ch. xi, pp. 419-161.
