On 13 May 1652, Fabio was transferred to the Bishopric of Imola.
The transfer to Imola was on 13 May 1653, not 13 May 1652.
Full reasoning
The date in this sentence is wrong. Standard Catholic episcopal records place Fabio Chigi's appointment/transfer to Imola on 13 May 1653. Both Catholic-Hierarchy and GCatholic give 1653, so the article's 1652 date is incorrect.

Speculatores Domus Israel (1592)
Alexander VII’s introductory bull for his Index was issued in 1664, not 1592.
Full reasoning
The date attached here is wrong. Vatican documentation on the history of the Index states that Alexander VII confirmed his Index with the constitution Speculatores on 5 March 1664. A separate Speculatores domus Israel from 1592 belongs to Clement VIII, not to Alexander VII's 1664 Index preface. So attaching (1592) to Alexander VII's bull is incorrect.
