The completion of the details of another papal
episcopal ordination
Thanks to my friend and colleague Angelo Tavazza, the
details of the episcopal ordination of Camillo Cardinal Borghese, Bishop of
Jesi and the future Pope Paul V, have been completed. The names of his co-consecrators have been in
doubt for some time, with some accounts including the names of two cardinals
who had not themselves received episcopal ordination as co-consecrators.
The complete details of the episcopal ordination are
contained in an avviso from Rome dated 29 May 1597. This aviso is found in a manuscript located
in the Vatican Apostolic Library:
Urb.lat.1065.pt.1, c.314r.
The details of the episcopal ordination are located in the
page devoted to the episcopal lineage of Popes Clement X and Paul V:
