Latin term

Diplomate

Latin to English Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Master\'s degree
The complete sentence is: Quando etiam huc potissimum spectant amplissima illa jura nostro collegio publica Diplomate collata.

This is the preamble to the award of Master of medicine extolling the virtues of the university. I have never come across this before and cannot really see how diplomate (sic) applies here.
My effort so far:
Since also they can see especially the very greatest authority publicly conferred as a diploma at our University. (One of several phrases beginning "since")

Thank you for any input.

Sandra Mouton Sep 22, 2022:
publico Hi Jennifer, I've just realised that "publico" relates to "diplomate", as its grammatical gender is neuter.
Jennifer White (asker) Sep 21, 2022:
publico private university in Pennsylvania
Sandra Mouton Sep 21, 2022:
publico Then it probably relates to collegio, then. State college? Public university?
Jennifer White (asker) Sep 21, 2022:
sorry Sandra, yes this is "publico".

"Diplomate" is the ablative singular of diploma (neuter, from ancient Greek). It means "diploma, official letter".
The full context, especially what comes before and which "illa jura" refers to, would be necessary to be certain, but I would say something along the lines of "these rights conferred publicly by our college by/in a diploma".
"Publica" is slightly problematic. I would expect "publice" but maybe it can be considered to relate to "jura".
Note from asker:
Thank you very much Sandra. I will close the question later.
