Dear Brenda, as you may know, the fundamental reference source for obituaries is the on-going Répertoire des documents nécrologiques français / publié sous la direction de Pierre Marot par Jean-Loup Lemaître. Paris : Impr. Nationale : Klincksieck, 1980-[1992 ] which is trying to list and describe --in great detail-- *all* of the ms sources for all necrologies in France, indicating their publication (if any) and even "indication" in published works. the entries for Fontevreault (vol. 7, pt. 2, # 2900ff) does not look good, beginning with "Il a existe' plusieurs ne'crologes de Fontevrault, tous perdus..." looks like the only publications are a few brief mentions in the GC and some other early modern works. perhaps the best bet might be a ms in the AD Maine-et-Loire, 101.H, which has quite a few pages (over 100?) of "extraits" from a "Grand necrologe" of the 17th c. if you can't get aholt of the Lemaître, i might be able to scan the two pages and put them in a .pdf file for you. as far as i know, the best source for finding out about cartularies --their mss and publication (if any)-- is still : Bibliographie générale des cartulaires français ou relatifs à l'histoire de France, par Henri Stein. Paris, A. Picard et fils, 1907. [vii]-xv, 627 p. 23 cm. which has, apparently, never been updated. let me know if you can't find this either --perhaps it is available on Gallica, i don't know. a Worldcat search on "Fontevrault" should turn up any published editions of its cartulary, but Stein is very thorough, listing originals and *every* early modern copy he could come up with, etc. best from here, christopher Christopher's Book Room P.O.
