Vatican Manuscripts from the Borg.siam Fond

Both of the items in the collection have been digitized. They are, in fact, two copies of the same text, the Actus Fidei, Spei, Charitatis, translated into Thai on the orders of Stefano Borgia. The second codex is an updated translation sent back to Rome from the Apostolic Vicar in Bangkok, Olivier Simon Le Bon (1710-1780)
