   Note: The Italians sometimes use this epithet for
         ultramontane, and apply it to the countries north of
         the Alps, as France and Germany, and especially to
         their ecclesiastics, jurists, painters, etc.; and a
         north wind is called a tramontane wind. The French
         lawyers call certain Italian canonists tramontane, or
         ultramontane, doctors; considering them as favoring too
         much the court of Rome. See {Ultramontane}.
