As Archdeacon at Turin he was a member of the commission appointed by Pope Clement VIII to edit the ''Liber septimus decretalium'' (later known as the ''Constitutiones Clementinae''); and he also wrote ''Paratitla'' on the five books of the '' Decretals '' of Gregory IX . He represented the Duke Of Savoy at the court of Rome under Clement VIII and Paul V , and was ambassador to Spain under Kings Philip III and IV . Germonius is best known for his treatise on ambassadors, ''De legatis principum et populorum libri tres'' (Rome, 1627). The book is diffuse, pedantic and some-what heavy in style, but valuable historically as written by a theorist who was also an expert man of affairs. |
