Massimo Santoro Tubito
Massimo Santoro Tubito or la, Maximus Xanthorus Tubitus (December 1660 - ...) was an Italian priest and writer. He's best known for his books ''Divinum Theatrum'' (1702) and ''De Antichristo'' (1712), both of them written in Latin. The subjects covered are history and religion. The books are also known because he refers to himself as la, Altiliensis, seu Altamuranus which means "Altiliens or Altamuran", denoting that he was from the Apulian city of Altamura. ''Altiliensis'' refers to the legends about the founding of the city of Altamura, whose ancient name is believed to have been Altilia. The toponym Altilia lacks historical evidence, and most scholars - such as Ottavio Serena - tend to reject it.#storie-inedite, storie-inedite, p. 171 According to other historians, such as Tommaso Berloco (1985), there isn't enough evidence either to dismiss the toponym or to prove it.#storie-inedite, storie-inedite, p. 28, note 27 Life Massimo Santoro Tubito was born in Altamura on Decem ...

Apostolic Protonotary
In the Roman Catholic Church, protonotary apostolic (PA; Latin: ''protonotarius apostolicus'') is the title for a member of the highest non-episcopal college of prelates in the Roman Curia or, outside Rome, an honorary prelate on whom the pope has conferred this title and its special privileges. An example is Prince Georg of Bavaria (1880–1943), who became in 1926 Protonotary by papal decree. History In late antiquity, there were in Rome seven regional notaries who, on the further development of the papal administration and the accompanying increase of the notaries, remained the supreme palace notaries of the papal chancery (''notarii apostolici'' or ''protonotarii''). In the Middle Ages, the protonotaries were very high papal officials and were often raised directly from this office to the cardinalate. Originally numbering seven, Pope Sixtus V (1585–90) increased their number to twelve. Their importance gradually diminished, and at the time of the French Revolution, the ...
