internuncio

 
     
  A papal head of mission of the second class, who thus has the same rank as an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.


Between the Middle Ages and the seventeenth century, however, the title was in more general use by temporal powers, the Austrians clinging to it for their resident at Istanbul – the ‘Imperial Internuncio’ – until the middle of the nineteenth. The motive, it appears, was to avoid disputes over precedence with the Porte\'s long most favoured friend, the French ambassador. The Polish representative in Istanbul also bore the title ‘internuncio’.
