^{Page No 183 Note 1} It should, however, be noted that d’Ailly stipulated: ‘ To begin with, a distinction should be drawn between the subjects to be treated in the Council. They may be either such as relate solely to the Catholic faith, the sacraments, and purely spiritual aspects of the Church, with which the holy fathers of old dealt in their general councils. In such a case the canon law has much to say and what I am now writing nothing at all. Or else they may relate to the ending of the present Schism and the establishment of unbroken unity and peace. In which case the following remarks are pertinent.’

Fillastre seemingly went further. Having spoken of anyone with a cure of souls or learning as suitable for the council, he proceeds: ‘As for ambassadors of kings and princes, clearly they should be given a voice in matters that concern the Universal Church, such as church union and faith ’ ( Loomis, , The Council of Constance, 213, 216 Google Scholar).

Some of the bishops, abbots, and graduates not noted in the voting as proxies were also proxies; they claimed to register their proxy vote (apparently in vain) only after the threat of closure. So probably the 21 proxies noted above were only proxies with no vote pro se.

Some inquirer compiled statistics of all those present in Constance for the council. He records 3 patriarchs, 22 cardinals, 5 more patriarchs of other obediences, 17 archbishops, 33 titular bishops, 99 diocesan bishops, 110 abbots, and among the many other items noted in the 38 columns of categories and names, one finds curtesani quos reperi in domibus MD;simplices presbyteri quos reperi in domibus MDCC; and near the very end, mulieres communes ad minus DCC, without saying where he found them ( Hardt, von der, Magnum oecumemcum Constantiense, v, 12–50 Google Scholar).
