The work for which Tamburini in mostly known is 



i della Santa s,-de.' published anonymously at 



Pavia. in 174. An extract from the author's preface will 



niie idea of the nature of this work: ' I 

 often 'happens that to the most common and hncknied 

 - a vague and indeterminate meaning i.s attri- 

 buted. A word was originally fixed upon to signify a 

 ',<\ thing. The idea of it vvas perhaps clear and pre- 

 n, but as in the course of time the ideas of 

 men change, the word is still retained, though people 

 attach to it different meanings. Hence obscurity and 

 confusion and interminable disputes arise, and still the 

 he disputed word is kept up. without convening 

 any distinct idea of what it means. Numberless exani- 

 migbt be (jiioted of Mich an occurrence. For in- 

 stance, in our own times everybod- , >( the Holy 

 ;'.ic See. tho chair of'St. Peter, the Roman 

 ch'ireb. which are so many expression:, ,-ignifung flu- 

 thing, and which in anlient. times , vpie^ed a simple 

 and clear idea, but which now convci to the minds ol 

 people the most vague and indeterminate notions. Things 

 the most disparate are identified: people confound one 

 subject with another, the see with the. incumbent, the 

 chair with the court of Rome, the court with the church ; 

 and from this medi confusion of ideas through 

 which every decree that proceeds from Rome heroines in- 

 . d with thi 'e authoiity of the chair ol 

 St. Peter, of the Apostolic See, of the church of Rome a 

 confusion followed by tl enees 

 not' " the universal church, 

 dild to the / i. In order to support cer- 

 tain -anated from Rome, some short- 

 ed theologians have attributed to the Roman See new 

 :iknown to the earlier ages of the church, 

 an I I hey have had r I infallibility. . . . 

 Other men have contested these prerogatives, and in the 

 warmth of thi ty the rial claims of ti' 

 See have been .1 forgotten. . . . One pilitv 

 has maintained that, on the pica of infallibility, every de- 

 mating from Rome ought, to be received with
