Three works in the dispute that followed attempts to introduce reform following models of Gallicanism and ideas of Jansenism, at the diocese of Prato and Pistoia in Tuscany. The bishop, Scipione de' Ricci (1741-1810) had the support of Grand-Duke Leopold I. The first work briefly discusses papal authority but is most taken up with issues of theology and worship. The second and third works on the other hand pay great attention to problems of church polity, and again authority, inherent in Gallicanism and the last work includes study of writings of the famous Italian Jansenist theologian and jurist Pietro Tamburini (1737-1827).
