Le Réseau de confraternité de la Trinité de Fécamp en 1386 d’après la liste publiée par Leroux de Lincy en 1840

Abstract

The list of confraternities of the Abbey of the Trinity of Fécamp published in 1840 by Leroux de Lincy in his Essai historique et littéraire sur l’abbaye de Fécamp is a translation into French, carried out shortly before 1708 in the dom Nicolas Asselin’s Histoire de l’abbaye de Fécamp, from a list of confraternities in Latin drawn up in 1386 by Abbot Pierre II Cervaise de Riville (1381-1390). This list of confraternities enriches the Fecampian confraternity documentation with a new centerpiece, precious for the reconstitution of the network of confraternities of the abbey throughout the Middle Ages. It is thus possible to follow, with increased precision, the evolutions of this network over five centuries, from the Benedictine reform introduced in Fécamp by Guillaume de Volpiano in 1001 until the end of the 15th century.
