The Identification of Abbots in the Necrologies of Mont-Saint-Michel

A re-evaluation of the identifications of abbots listed in the necrologies of Mont-Saint-Michel, initially proposed by Dom Jean Laporte in 1966, reveals surprising and illuminating hypotheses. This study challenges previous assumptions, offering new insights into the historical records of the site. The research serves as a precursor to a broader work that will delve deeper into the cult of memoria at Mont-Saint-Michel. By critically examining the necrologies, the study employs a methodical approach to refine our understanding of medieval ecclesiastical history.
