======================================
After the Fourth Lateran council of 1215 a number of manuals of confession appeared.
Their purpose was the intellectual preparation of priests for a prudent and informed exercise of the office of confessor.

This manual for confessors was completed by Father Battista Trovamala in the convent of Levanto in 1483. Also known as the Summa casuum conscientiae or Summa Baptistiniana, it was first printed by Nicolaus Girardengus in 1484. In 1489 Trovamala made an expanded and revised version, the Rosella Casuum or Summa Rosella, printed first in Pavia in 1489 and then in Venice by Giorgio Arrivabeni in 1489, 1495, and 1499.
