Very rare first edition. It is a kind of handbook for the use of confessors of the diocese of Bologna, regarding those sins that in canon law are defined as "reserved case" for their delicacy. Lists seven types: blasphemy, heresy, murder, incest, obscenity i.e. carnal relations with the nuns, the property crime of the Church, the scandalous conduct during Lent. In order to fulfill these sins was required special preparation, so only the prelates authorized by the bishop could hear the confessions.
