Dear Colleagues: May I ask your help in identifying a Benedictine priory named Locrist. It was held by one Yvo Lamaderii or Medent, a former Carmelite who saw the light and transferred to the Benedictine Order. He was Breton by birth and I presume from the name of the house that it is Breton as well. Lamaderii was a licensed in theology at Paris in 1382, received permission from Pope Clement VII to transfer to the Benedictines in 1385 or 1386. He appears as a Benedictine in 1398. Any help you can give with the identification of the priory (dependency of which abbey, what diocese, etc) will be appreciated. I've looked in the Cottineau, the Gallia Christiana, and the Revue Mabillon series identifying monasteries. Thomas Sullivan, OSB %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
