Genesius Bultheti {Clement VII-Paul IV}
Tenor; admitted 3 November 1532 [according to the list in DS 2, fol. 94v]; mandati: December 1532 -August 1555 ; died in Rome on 5 July 1555 and was buried in the Monastery of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva.
From January-November 1550 and from Feburary-November 1551 , Bultheti drops to the bottom of the mandati lists (along with Capello ).This loss in seniority was probably a punishment for some altercation the two had. Bultheti was also among the few singers who were married (he was excused from service on 17 January 1537 because his wife had died).
