Dear Brenda,
from your description it can't be the old but still very useful worthwhile
works of Ulysse Chavelier, _Répertoire des sources historiques du moyen âge
... Bio-bibliographie. Nouv. éd. refondue, cor. et considérablement augm.
Paris, A. Picard, 1905-07. 2 v.
and
Répertoire des sources historiques du Moyen Age; topobibliographie.
New York, Kraus Reprint Corp., 1959 (actually of the same vintage as the
above, but not in the LoC!) . 2 v.
but, you have to know the name of the fellow or place you want to know about
before these arr of use.
something that would list all the abbots of all the monasteries all over
Europe?
beats me.
love to hear of it.
