PROVINCIAL SYNODS. 215<br />

It would appear, however, that for <strong>the</strong> most part no special<br />

exhortations <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pope were necessary in this matter,<br />

and that during his pontificate many provincial and diocesan<br />

synods were held without any dilftculties being made.^ <strong>The</strong><br />

1 Calenzio (Documcnti, 577 seqq.) gives <strong>the</strong> following list <strong>of</strong><br />

synods <strong>from</strong> 1564 (provincial synods in italics) :<br />

<strong>The</strong> list only includes councils <strong>of</strong> which Calenzio knew <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

printed acta, ei<strong>the</strong>r separately or in collections ;<br />

it is never<strong>the</strong>less<br />

incomplete. Thus synods were held at Tarragona in 1564, 1565,<br />

1566, 1567, 1569 (Gams, Series episc). According to information<br />

kindly supplied by Canon Lanzoni ten diocesan synods were held<br />

at Faenza between 1569 and 1580, <strong>of</strong> which those <strong>of</strong> February,<br />

1565, October 1569, and July 1571, come during <strong>the</strong> pontificate<br />

1567 and 1571. A synod <strong>of</strong> Lucca in 1570 in Sinodi Lucchesi<br />
