Selected

RD > Reverendo / Reverendissmo Domino

Probably it refers to a priest (ministro)> Reverend Father / Most Reverend Father. If we had the whole sentence, we could be more precise.

Of course, I put Reverend(issim)o Domino in the ablative/dative, since it hat to go with "ministro" - which is most probably an ablative preceeded by "a/ab", meaning the priest by whom the baptism was ministered.

Ave, Josephe!
agree stolley : sic, sed non transcrivere! i.e, it doesn' tneed to be changed at all, and, incidentally, its a baptismal certificate.

What do you mean, Sarah? Sure, that's why I put RD again first, before explaining its meaning. Have a good day and thanks!
agree Zrinka Milas : Why do you say "we could be more precise"? A pluralis maiestatis? ;-) // I don't think so. Sorry, if I maybe did offend you, but you are intelligent enough and have the humour to understand my way of joking. ;-) // Yes? ;-)

Sure!! :-) "We are really amused by your comment!" Anyway, are we not a big, and sometimes big-headed, community of trans? :-) How cute in your new pic! Shame the only ones I've got from my childhood are all with me totally bare-assed! :-) // Zri!!!!! :-)
