The Bullarium Romanum is only an estimable, but nolegal, complete, unquestionable authority; being merely areunion of whatever papers of that kind were to befound by its authors in public or private archives. Manydocuments remained with the individuals or corporationsthey were addressed to; so that no valid argument can bebased on the absence of anything dated earlier than 1400from the compilation—or even from the Vatican archives,that only begin in 1200. All which is stated from theerudite archivist himself, who thinks no such parchmentsnecessary to his Church; which has its best proofs initself, as striking and demonstrative as any other self-evidence.
