SANTIMONIALE

Italian original Cite

SANCTIMONIAL. - From sanctimonia (sanctus plus the ending -monia); in Cicero, Pro Quinto, 17, 55 and in Tacitus, Ann., III, 69, it means purity, chastity, applicable to human conduct. Christianity derived from the noun the epithet sanctimonialis, applied to virgins consecrated to God who are in a particular way vowed to the exercise of those virtues.
