My thanks to all for responding to my querey on the 3 Marys at the tomb of Jesus. Here is a new one: I am writing an article on Leon Battista Alberti and I find that after his studies in law at Bologna, he became an Apostolic Abbreviator. Exactly what is/was that office? What duties did it entail? What did it have to do with the Curia, for whom he worked? Etc.? Thanks.
