copies of Buckingham's letters were printed in the Cabala, sive Scrinia Sacra ( 1654 ) while Philip Yorke, 2nd Earl of Hardwicke's printing of Miscellaneous State Papers (London, 1778 , 2 vols ) offered documents concerningthe pardons prepared for Catholics in 1623 . Of special importance for understanding the surviving Spanish documents of this period is the concise inventory prepared by Geoffrey Parker in Guide to the Archives of the Spanish Institutions in or concerned with the Netherlands, 1556-1706 , Archives et Bibliothèquesde Belgique (Numéro Special 3 , Brussels, 1971 ) . The Colección de DocumentosInéditos vol . 54 contains original materials on the first stages of the war in the Palatinate , and vol. 96 has correspondence of don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis de Villafranca , on the Savoy crisis of 1616-18 . The publications already mentioned in the previous volume of this edition continue to be of value . Some light on Anglo- Dutch relations for the years 1616-20 is provided in the Letters from and to Sir Dudley Carleton, edited by the 2nd Earl of Hardwicke ( London, 1757 ) . Papal policy toward England can be studied indirectly through two different nuncios . B. de Meester , Correspondence du Nonce Giovanni Francesco Guido di Bagno (Analecta-Vaticano- Belgica , 2e Sér . , Brussels, 1938 , 2 vols .) has valuable insight into papal objectives in the Palatinate . Luigi de Steffani, La Nunziatura di Francia del Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio (Florence , 1863-70 , 4 vols .) demonstrates the constant surveillance by this nuncio of James's policy towards English Catholics from 1616 to 1620. Both nunciatures contributed to the papal curia information on English Catholic affairs to a greater degree than the Spanish representatives . The first volume of M. Avenel's edition of Lettres, Instructions Diplomatiques et Papiers d'Etat du Cardinal de Richelieu (Paris, 1853-77 , 8 vols . ) has valuable references to French policy towards the English Catholics . Sidney Lee's edition of the Autobiography of Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury (London, 1890) made available a unique record of Herbert's anti-Spanish maneouvres in Paris from 1619-24 . The published correspondence of the Count of Gondomar mentioned above printed the Spanish transcription of several of the documents here translated . When the original of that same document was also traced in the Archivo General de Simancas, its full pressmark has been
