"Thus, of the same committee, Voltaire says that there were seven members, and they pronounced against the contents of the book; Michelet says that there were twelve members; Martin that there were ten members. The last two historians affirm that the committee did not condemn the book. The truth as to the numbers is immaterial, and perhaps the different statements can be reconciled in some way or other. I only quote them to show, as I have often noticed, how difficult it is to arrive at the exact truth as to details in historical questions." Bausset, Louis-François de. Histoire de Fénelon: Composée sur les Manuscrits Originaux. Paris: Giguet et Michaud, 1808, v. 3, 391-392. "On a employé à cet examen, pendant près de trois ans, les plus habiles théologiens de Rome, tirés de toutes les écoles les plus fameuses et de tous les corps religieux qui font une étude particulière de la théologie. On comptait parmi les examinateurs deux dominicains, deux cordeliers, un augustin, un jésuite, un bénédictin, un barnabite et un prêtre de la congrégation de la mission. Après dix-sept conférences de quatre à ciuq heures chacune, tenues entre ces théologiens, en présence des cardinaux Ferrari et Fabroni, on examina encore toutes les propositions en présence du pape et de neuf cardinaux de la congrégation du St.-Office dans vingt-trois congrégations, où se trouvérent tous les théologiens qui avaient été chargés de l'examen préliminaire, ainsi que tous les consulteurs ordinaires du St.-Office; le commissaire du St.-Office, qui est toujours un dominicain, et le général des dominicains s'y trouvaient également, ainsi qu'un grand nombre de prélats." Neither Voltaire, Jules Michelet, nor Henri Martin provided a correct accounting of these examiners; Fénelon's book was certainly condemned in 1699; and, witness statements, original records and testimonies, and local reports can provide more authentic documentation of events than later historical reviews.
