Notes: Contains 672 decisions dating from 15 Dec. 1638 (date of decision II) to 23 June 1656 (v. 1, decisions I-CCCCII, 1638-1649; v. 2, CCCCIII-DCLXXII, 1650-1656). Decision I, misdated "Lunae 15 Maii 1631" (the day was not Monday) appears not to be included at all among Bichi's material in the cumulative editions known as "Recentiores". (N.B. Bichi was not made auditor until 1638.)
Unsigned dedicatory letter to Cardinal Piccolomini in v. 1 is that signed by Zenobio Masotti in his edition published in Rome in 1671 with title Decisiones S[ac]rae Rotae Romanae coram R.P.D. bon. mem. Coelio Bichio. Present edition appears to be a textually unchanged reprint (incl. the "Decisio I").
