Tramontane
(gcide) | Tramontane \Tra*mon"tane\, a. [OF. tramontain, It. tramontano,
L. transmontanus; trans across, beyond + mons, montis,
mountain.]
Lying or being beyond the mountains; coming from the other
side of the mountains; hence, foreign; barbarous.
[1913 Webster]
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.

Ultramontane
(gcide) | Ultramontane \Ul`tra*mon"tane\, a. [LL. ultramontanus; L. ultra
beyond + montanus belonging to a mountain, from mons, montis,
mountain: cf. F. ultramontain, It. ultramontano. See
Ultra-, and Mountain.]
Being beyond the mountains; specifically, being beyond the
Alps, in respect to the one who speaks.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This term was first applied, somewhat contemptuously,
by the Italians, to the nations north of the Alps,
especially the Germans and French, their painters,
jurists, etc. At a later period, the French and Germans
applied it to the Italians. It is now more particularly
used in respect to religious matters; and ultramontane
doctrines, when spoken of north of the Alps, denote the
extreme views of the pope's rights and supremacy
maintained by Bellarmin and other Italian writers.

1. One who resides beyond the mountains, especially beyond
the Alps; a foreigner.
[1913 Webster]
2. One who maintains extreme views favoring the pope's
supremacy. See Ultramontanism.
