Many thanks to Tony Antonovics. I shall certainly check Pastor in the
Italian or German editions mentioned. Some Italian scholars do, however,
still think 1423 is a possibility. And I shall have to see if Herbert
Thurston (no mean scholar) was misled by Pastor englished. Another
reference to the Jubilees from another great name of yesteryear: H.C. Lea,
'History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences...', Vol.3, has a chapter
devoted to the Jubilees, which I have set aside to read.
