Precaria
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
(Latin: preces, petition)
A claim, in the form of a letter, to a benefice promised but not vacant, for which the expectant had to wait until such preferment became vacant. Abuses caused the Council of Trent to limit them; the Code of Canon Law does not acknowledge them.
