medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Le culte de saint PETROC en Bretagne armoricaine doit surtout à l'honneur que lui rendait l'abbaye de Saint-Méen-de Gaël (diocèse de Saint-Malo). En ce lieu reposait quelques reliques du saint de Cornwall (dont les restes principaux se trouvaient à Bodmin, d'autres à Exeter, don du roi Aethelstan)). L'antique monastère breton fêtait saint Pétroc au 4 juin, ainsi dans le recueil connu sous le nom d' "Obituaire de Saint-Méen" (BHL 6639, Paris BnF lat. 9889, XVIème s.), lequel contient aussi une "vita Petroci". Il y reçoit 12 leçons "cum hystoria propria", et une autre célébration au 4 septembre, sans octaves. Voir Paul Grosjean, Vie et miracles de saint Petroc, dans Analecta Bollandiana, 74, 1956, pp. 131-188; pp. 470-496.
