Minutiae, in fingerprinting terms, are the points of interest in a fingerprint, such as bifurcations (a ridge splitting into two) and ridge endings.
Fingerprint contains special features (minutiae)
ridge endings - a ridge that ends abruptly
ridge bifurcation - a single ridge that divides into two ridges
short ridges, island or independent ridge - a ridge that commences, travels a short distance and then ends
ridge enclosures - a single ridge that bifurcates and reunites shortly afterward to continue as a single ridge
spur - a bifurcation with a short ridge branching off a longer ridge
crossover or bridge - a short ridge that runs between two parallel ridges
Minutiae also refers to any small or otherwise incidental detail.

A small or minor detail. When you talk about going through each and every minutiae of the contract, it means you are trying to go through each every detail, including those small and unimportant.
Frankly, I have a pet expression for that--delousing where there is no hair at all.

I'm Italian.
Minutiae is latin, and has the same meaning that (probably) has in english.
They've already told you the right meaning, which is a minor , little , detail (in the plural form)

Tiny bits of information which do not mean a great deal by themselves, but when they are used in conjunction with other information; they are very important. Generally used in discussions of government and other legal documentation.

"Minutiae" means "little details."
