Note 60 — Book the Second (continued 3)

Here is a specimen of Mgr. Burchard’s or his copyist’s gross inaccuracy. He officially was responsible for the conduct of this function. He intimately should have known, and directed, every movement and every gesture of every assistant. And he names, among the cardinals-assistant, the Lord Giovanni Borgia (detto Seniore) Archbishop of Monreale, Cardinal-Presbyter of Santa Susanna, who had been dead just eighteen days.
