Cenci's legal treatise, p. 1-328, discusses the "censūs," i.e. customary private contracts instituting annual returns, as previously studied by jurists and moralists, in the light of recent papal legislation and Roman Rota's findings. Preliminary pages [148-156] contain papal bulls on the subject by Pius V (of 1569 and 1570), Sixtus V (1585), and Clement VIII (1592 and 1601).
"Decisiones Sacrae Rotae Romanae quae in Tractatu de censu referuntur" (caption title, p. 329, and through p. 756) are 561 Rota decisions selected and reported by Cenci; followed by G.B. Leonelli's Interpretatio seu glossa bullae Pii Quinti de censibus (text commented upon clause by clause) and Disputationes de censibus by Luis de Molina (disputations 381-395 from his Tractatus secundus, de contractibus of his De justitia et jure).
