Scenophylacium

Scenophylacium the innermost part of the diaconicum, or vestry of the church, and the repository of the sacred vessels and such anathemata or presents as were reputed among the chiefest treasures of the church. It was otherwise called Secretarium, because, as Du Fresne conjectures, the consistory or tribunal of the church was kept here. See Bingham, Antiq. of the Christian Church, 1, 311.
