What does branobilis/braenobilis mean? I have a baptismal entry (< 3. from the top) that I cannot reproduce here due to the CC-BY-NC-ND license which appears to read > Joannis Peyrer Graff Lodronsch Wasch-Huettner et Maria Grieshoferin uxoris filii legitii heri vespere 3tia natii mane 9na baptizatii fuit a. R D Francisco Hödlmayr coadt. levante braenobili juvene Vincentio Fererio de Herisch filiufam supremi telonarii Regarding the godfather - the son of a customs official named Vinzenz Ferrer von Herisch - I'm unsure what exactly _branobili_ or _braenobili_ means here. I know that _nobilis_ means noble which seems to be the case when looking at the name but the prefix is unknown to me. It is also possible that I misread this part.

I still think that it reads "braenobili" in this particular entry. However, as @erstwhile editor mentioned, it might mean "praenobili". In another entry (4. from the top) a "praenobilis D.na [Domina]" is mentioned.

According to Karl Ernst Georges: Ausführliches lateinisch-deutsches Handwörterbuch. Hannover 81918 (Nachdruck Darmstadt 1998), Band 2, Sp. 1864. (a Latin-German dictionary of 1864, < "praenobilis" means "vorzüglich berühmt" (exquisitely famous). This is a quite literal translation. In the end it just means "noble" as I already suspected.
