The Attendance Registers.

For purposes of compression it has not always been possible to give each man's full name; each is identified by a numberwhich
refers to his biography in Appendix 11.
A small number of cansultas have been available only in draft form or haveyfor various reasonspnot recorded r6bricas; the
I heading 'Meetings' therefore incorporates all consultas
I
while 'Initialled' refers to those to which rabricas are
appended. The difference between the two is nominal at mostp
but I have naturally used the first figure when referring in
the text and on the graph on P-400 to the frequency of
conciliar convocation.
