Latino Malabranca Orsini (b. at Rome, year unknown – d. 10 August 1294, Perugia) was a Roman noble, an Italian cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, and nephew of Pope Nicholas III. Francesco Traballesi was an Italian painter and architect.  He was born in Florence in 1541, flourished in Rome during the papacy of Pope Gregory XIII (1572–1585), and died in 1588 in Mantua, where he was working as an architect for the duke Vincenzo Gonzaga.  In the Roman church of Sant'Atanasio dei Greci, which was founded by Gregory, there are two altar-pieces by Traballesi, an "Annunciation", and a "Christ disputing with the Doctors", while in the Greek Pontifical College of Saint Athanasius, next to the church, are more of his paintings, with "Apostles, Fathers of the Church", and a "Crucifixion", which were once parts of the iconostasis of the church itself.  In the Town Hall of Tivoli, anciently called Tibur in Latium, are two frescoes painted by Traballesi in 1574, showing scenes of "The mythic foundation of Tibur".  His brother Bartolommeo Traballesi was an assistant of Vasari. The Decline and Fall of the Roman Church is a 1981 non-fiction book by Catholic priest and author Malachi Martin. The Liber Censuum Romanæ Ecclesiæ (Latin for "Census Book of the Roman Church"; also referred to as the Codex of Cencius) is an eighteen-volume (originally) financial record of the real estate revenues of the papacy from 492 to 1192.  The span of the record includes the creation of the Apostolic Camera and the effects of the Gregorian Reform.  The work constitutes the "latest and most authoritative of a series of attempts, starting in the eleventh century, to keep an accurate record of the financial claims of the Roman church".  According to historian J. Rousset de Pina, the book was "the most effective instrument and [...] the most significant document of ecclesiastical centralization" in the central Middle Ages. Jean-Louis Bruguès, OP (born 22 November 1943) is a French archbishop of the Catholic Church.  He has been the Archivist and Librarian of the Holy Roman Church since June 2012. Alessandro Damasceni Peretti di Montalto (1571 – 2 June 1623) was an Italian Roman Catholic Cardinal Bishop.  He received the title by his uncle Felice Peretti after the latter was elected Pope Sixtus V on 24 April 1585, in the consistory on 13 May, and was installed as Cardinal Deacon of San Girolamo dei Croati on 14 June 1585; the cardinal was then fourteen years old.  The Republic of Venice inscribed him in the "Libro d'Oro" as a patrician of Venice that same year.  Though he was made the permanent governor of Fermo the following year, and was often the papal legate in Bologna, he was not made a bishop until 1620, when he became Cardinal-Bishop of Albano.  He served also as Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church (1589–1623) and Cardinal Protector of the Kingdom of Poland (named on 19 September 1589 by King Zygmunt III Waza) and of the several religious orders.
