ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We should like to thank those institutions and individuals who have assisted in the preparation of the present study. Pride of place must go to the Niedersachsisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Hanover, the Biblioteca estense, Modena, and the Archivio storico of the Sacra Congregatio pro Gentium Evangelizatione seu de Propaganda Fide, Rome, for permission to publish transcriptions, transla- tions and reproductions of documents in their possession and for helpfully responding to our requests. We are indebted also to the Harvard University Library, the British Library (London), the Bodleian Library (Oxford), and the libraries of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Birmingham. Carlo Vitali of Bologna kindly assisted with the translation of <strong>Steff</strong>ani's letters. Diego Zancani of Balliol College, Oxford, answered numerous queries concerning the translation of letters by Riva, Schonborn, and Pallavicini, and he spotted a quotation from Petrarch. Another Balliol man, Jasper Griffin, traced Petrarch's passage to Ovid. Margery Resnick, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, translated a ~panish maxim and provided a useful reference (commentary to letter 25). Leonard Schwarz, of Birmingham, steered us toward a source concerning English lotteries (commentary to letter 35), while another Birmingham colleague, Gerry Slowey, clarified the meaning of a Latin reference to Lodovico Moscherosse (commentary to letter 36). Errors of omission or commission remain the responsibility of the undersigned. L. L., C. T.
