I can think of an explanation but it involves the Jesuits consciously committing fraud in order to hide a sale that would have been totally illegal under Italian law at the time. I suppose some people will not accept that idea.
Well, as an Italian I see few problems in accepting Jesuits sold some books for money on the black market instead of giving them for free to the Vatican Library, laws or not laws...
