Detailed Bacchiocchi analysis on the XCG blog

On the XCG blog, Jared has compiled an extremely detailed analysis of Bacchiocchi's two responses to the Gregorian Controversy. [Bacchiocchi's Part 1; Part 2]

I highly recommend reading it.  The most recent comments are at the bottom of the page, with the analysis of Part 2 starting at comment 80.

What interests me the most is the Imprimi Potest.  There is a detailed discussion of the Imprimatur/Imprimi Potest at XCG, comment 91.  How did it turn into an Imprimatur?

A comparison of the imprimatur page in Anti-Judaism and the Origin of Sunday with the imprimatur page in From Sabbath to Sunday shows them to be almost completely identical. The only difference between them is that the 1975 book says “imprimi potest,� while the 1977 book (and subsequent editions) says “imprimatur.� Stephen Korsman has also noticed that discrepancy. According to Dr. Bacchiocchi, the 1975 imprimatur was “reused� for the 1977 printing of From Sabbath to Sunday, but for some reason the “imprimi potest� was turned into a simple “imprimatur,� even though we would expect no such change in wording.

I didn't figure that out ... he gives me too much credit.  I realised it only when I read his post.

I need to figure that one out ... Jared mentioned a timeline he's drawing up [comment 93].  Hopefully that will help figure this out.
