Annuario Pontificio, Roma / later: Città del Vaticano
In fact, the "Annuario Pontificio" has undergone some changes of name. Between 1817 and 1859, it was "Notizie". From 1862 through 1870, and from 1913 on, the title was "Annuario Pontificio". From 1874 through 1912, the title used was "Gerarchia Cattolica". But as it is materially the same source, we use AP throughout.
