italian...

I have spent a good bit of time on this, however italian
translation/dictionary sites give results which are less
than consistent with one another. I have arrived at what
I believe is as good a translation as you will need, relying
somewhat on logic and context from other pages on the site
you posted. Nonetheless, the information conveyed seems
relatively useless, as much of the data is in the form of
library abbreviations, referencing the inventory of documents.
It might assist me or another researcher to know what bits
of the text are of special importance to you.

Also, I do not speak Italian, so I will hold off with the
translation I have come up with to see if someone is better
equipped to translate this for you, unless you indicate that
a timely response is more important than absolute accuracy.

Regards...

Hello

Here's your translation:

BIBLIOTECA GAMBALUNGHIANA 
Gambalunga Library 

INDICE ALFABETICO DEGLI SPOGLI  
Alphabetical index of catalog entries  

Sc-Ms.190 Sec. XIX 
Writings and Manuscripts 190  -  19th. century

Discendenza Tonti 
Tonti descent [genealogy]
Sta in: Paulucci, Domenico: Memorie miscellanee di famiglie...
(cc.97-115)
[It is] in: Miscellaneous Family Memoirs, by Domenico Paulucci..
(papers 97-115)

Sc-Ms.803 1614 
Writings and Manuscripts 803  -   1614
Donazione del Sig. Cardinale [Michelangelo] Tonti alli parenti... 
Gift of Cardinal Tonti to his parents
Sta in: [Scritti e documenti miscellanei] (cc. 25-52)
[It is] in: Miscellaneous Writings and Documents  (papers 25-52)

I was pleased to answer this, since I have already got involved in the
story of the Tonti family by answering some other questions about
them, which I guess you know about. It's all very interesting.

As well as using my knowledge of Italian, I checked over the
Gambalunga library site to see how they use abbreviations:
http://www.comune.rimini.it/cultura/biblioteca/gambalunga/mss1.htm

Did you notice they have a diploma or degree certificate for a
Michelangelo Tonti (seems like the wrong date for the Cardinal?)
http://www.comune.rimini.it/cultura/biblioteca/gambalunga/mss2.htm

I also checked on the word "spogli" by using a Google image search to
confirm it means entries in an index or catalog:
http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.pg.izs.it/immagini/lazzari_b2.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.pg.izs.it/corrente/webzine/lazzari.html&h=175&w=282&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dspogli%26start%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN

Please be sure to ask if you want anything clarified.
