Scope note

Text

A canonical Processetto or pre-matrimonial inquiry is motivated by a characteristic of the applicant, be this a foreigner, a widow, a citizen who was long years abroad, etc. This class models the reasons that most likely led to the investigation in an objective sense, i.e. as intended by ecclesiastical authorities then and not as a classification by the historians analysing the documentation.
