Ettore Ximenes ( April 11, 1855, Palermo – December 20, 1926, Rome ) was an Italian sculptor of mostly religious and mythological subjects.

The fifth child of Domingos Vaz Filipe and Ermelinda Baptista Filipe, Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo was born in the village of Wailakama, near Vemasse, on the north coast of East Timor.

On the resignation of Martinho da Costa Lopes in 1983, Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo was appointed Apostolic Administrator of the Dili diocese, becoming head of the East Timor church and directly responsible to the Pope.

In 1578 the manuscript, entitled Nova Plantarum, Animalium et Mineralium Mexicanorum Historia, was sent back to the Escorial in Madrid ; they were not translated into Latin by Francisco Ximenes until 1615.

Torquemada's successor at The Observer was Ximenes ( Derrick Somerset Macnutt, 1902 – 1971 ), and in his influential work, Ximenes on the Art of the Crossword Puzzle ( 1966 ), he set out more detailed guidelines for setting fair cryptic clues, now known as " Ximenean principles " and sometimes described by the word " square-dealing ".

Floresville was also the birthplace of Vicente T. Ximenes ( born 1919 ), a former member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and a civil rights activist.

Lopes was succeeded as Apostolic Administrator by Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo.

Their transference thither was first suggested to Charles V by Cardinal Ximenes de Cisneros.

Following pressure from Jakarta, he stepped down in 1983 and was replaced by the younger priest, Monsignor Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo, who Indonesia thought would be more loyal.

He argued that it was first taken into a Greek text in 1515 by Cardinal Ximenes on the strength of a late Greek manuscript ' corrected ' from the Latin.

Didacus Ximenes ( died 1560 ) was a Spanish Dominican of the sixteenth century, noted as a theologian, philosopher, and astronomer.

The vocation of Ximenes to the religious state seemed miraculous ; for, while rector of the College of Cuenca at Salamanca, the king came to esteem him so highly that he was about to honour him with judicial dignity when, all unexpectedly, Ximenes was summoned to the Dominican convent by an unknown priest of the same order, who predicted that in a short time he would give up the practice of law for the religious life in the Order of Preachers.

Ximenes obtained the degree of Bachelor ( in the Dominican sense ) in his province, and on 11 April, 1559, was chosen socius to Bartholomew Carranza, Archbishop of Toledo, and by him sent to Segobia with special letters to the vicar and definitors of the provincial chapter gathered there, to dissuade the members of the chapter from re-electing Melchior Cano as provincial.

Sir Morris Ximenes ( aka Moses Ximenes ) ( 1762-1837 ) was a captain in the British Army and Berkshire landowner who had converted to Anglicanism from Judaism.

As the modern name Ximenes has an-es suffix, it is almost certainly of Portuguese, Galician or Old Spanish origin, as the orthographic change to-ez ( and indeed, the consonant shift from X to J ) was revised in Spain only in the late 18th century.

In English orthography, all variations are commonly written without the diacritic — Jimenez, Ximenez, Gimenez, Jimenes, Ximenes, and Gimenes.

Ximenes, as such, exists most commonly in Portugal, and in all of the ex-Portuguese Crown territories, especially in Brazil.

During the occupation, Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo became one of the most prominent advocates for human rights in East Timor and many priests and nuns risked their lives in defending citizens from military abuses.

East Timorese popular musicians include Teo Batiste Ximenes, who grew up in Australia and uses folk rhythms from his homeland in his music.

The name Ximenes itself is thought to derive as both surname and place name from the common Iberian territory of Galicia, since Lusophone linguists believe the Galician language is the forebear of both Modern Portuguese and Modern Spanish.

Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo, Nobel Laureate from East Timor in 1996, and Brazilian actress, Mariana Ximenes, are prime examples of this historical difference.

Ximenes initially embarked on literary studies but then took up sculpture and attended the courses at the Palermo Academy of Fine Arts.

With the power of the Banu Qasi fading at the onset of 10th century, the town fell under the influence of the rising Caliphate of Córdoba and had to come up against a more aggressive policy on the part of the new dynasty ruling in Pamplona, the Ximenes, who had set up close ties with their neighbour Christian realms.

Although this coincides with the favoured Indonesian spelling, and the spelling with " m " has a longer history in English, " Tetun " has also been used by some Portuguese-educated Timorese, such as José Ramos-Horta and Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo.

In 1640, Francisco Cesi, President of the Academia Linei of Rome, bought the Ximenes translation, and after annotating it, published it in 1649-1651 in two volumes as Rerum Medicarum Novae Hispaniae Thesaurus Seu Nova Plantarium, Animalium et Mineraliuím Mexicanorum Historia.

This kind of clue is called an indirect anagram, which in the vast majority of cryptic crosswords are not used, ever since they were criticised by ' Ximenes ' in his 1966 book On the Art of the Crossword.
