This is an inventory, or listing, of the documents found in the collection. It will be used for document discovery until a formal finding aid can be created.

In this inventory, the place and date of each document is listed first. If there are several entries on the same document, they are listed as [a], [b], etc. The Venetian style of dating and normal useage of spelling and proper names have been standarized.
