Hi guys,
I need help translating the attached baptism record, or more just to understand it. It seems like four children were baptized all at once. Was this a common occurrence to baptism multiple children at once or were these quadruplets? I know that the Xaverius (my third great grandfather) was actually born in 1819. And I can't seem to make anything out that says they were quadruplets. Anybody have any ideas?
This record is from Maria SS. del Monte in Caltagirone:

Thanks so much!

It's one child with FOUR baptismal names. It wasn't uncommon! Baptised 22 December 1819 born yesterday! Vincenzo, Saverio, Angelo, Emmanuele.
