Latin to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / University of Pennsylvania diploma | | Latin term or phrase: vicarius praepositi | Hi,
I'm translating a PhD diploma from the University of Pennsylvania which is signed by the Secretary, as well as the President, **Vicarius Praepositi** and Dean (in that order). Any idea what title this would refer to? I'm thinking maybe a "vice provost", since the root of "provost" is from the Latin praepositus.
Can anyone confirm that or give another option? Thanks.
If it helps, the person who signed for this title in May 2004 was Peter C (or Peter L... hard to read signature). |

| Grading comment Excellent, yes the signature was for Peter Conn, so deputy provost it is. Thanks for the research to confirm this.
