Summary:

Review and restatement of a judgment dated Nov. 13, 1499 (Ms. Coll. 742, Folder 114), written Apr. 8, 1500. The judgment itself is pronounced by Francesco di Nanni Todeschini Piccolomini, then cardinal of Siena, later Pope Pius III, in the name of the Catholic Church and Pope Alexander VI summoning the help of all authorities - ecclesiastic and secular - in the republics of Florence and Siena. The judgment also condemns 5 Florentine citizens for disobeying letters of excommunication and deprives them of their lands. On the verso of this restatement, the apostolic notary gives a detailed account of the confiscated property demanding that in each case the persons occupying them move within 30 days on pain of ecclesiastical censures and, if necessary, be evicted by force.
