  • Eubel, III, p. 5, says, that Alessandro Farnese was transferred from the deaconry of SS. Cosma e Damiano to that of S. Eustachio on 29 November 1503. But He actually occupied the deaconry of S. Eustachio already during the conclave on 1 November 1503 (Annales Ecclesiastici, vol. 35, p. 395). He must have opted for this deaconry during the short pontificate of Pius III, who himself had been cardinal-deacon of S. Eustachio before his election to the Papacy. Diary of Johann Burchard registered only one consistory under Pius III – it took place on 11 October 1503
  • According to Eubel, II, p. 24, n. 1, all the cardinals created and published on 28 September 1500 received their titles on 5 October 1500. Eubel cites Diary of Johann Burchard, p. 76-82, but Burchard says that on that Day the titles were given to those present, while some absent received their titles somewhat later. Trivulzio couldn’t have received the title of S. Anastasia before 1 November 1500 because only on that day the news of the death of Cardinal Morton, his predecessor in this title, reached Rome (cf. Eubel, II, p. 55).
  • Eubel, III, p. 7, says that on 4 January 1507 Trivulzio opted for unknown title but this is unlikely because at the time of his death he was still cardinal-priest of S. Stefano, cf. Annales Ecclesiastici, vol. 30, p. 493. Besides, he also subscribed the bull issued on 1 December 1507 as cardinal-priest of S. Stefano, see Bullarium Romanum, ed. Augustinae Taurinorum, Tomus IV, 1859, p. 464.

Eubel cites Diary of Johann Burchard, p. 76-82, but Burchard says that on that day the titles were given to those present, while some absent received their titles somewhat later. The title of SS. Silvestro e Martino was occupied by Cardinal d'Espinay until his death on 11 November 1500, and the news of his death reached Rome only on 23 November 1500 (cf. Eubel, II, p. 55).
