This edition of the nécrologe of the abbey of La Sauve-Majeure forms part of the Recueil des historiens de la France: Obituaires series. Both the series and this nécrologe have much to contribute to understanding of the practice of commemoration in the Middle Ages. La Sauve-Majeure, a late eleventh-century Benedictine foundation near Bordeaux, was an important and influential monastery in Aquitaine with more than sixty dependent priories and another eighty religious houses in confraternity with it. It was notably loyal to the English cause in the Hundred Years War, hence its commemoration of Edward, duke of York (d. 1415). This edition consists of extracts from the abbey's martyrologe and its nécrologe. The latter has been skilfully and scrupulously reconstructed by the editor from seventeenth-century extracts and other surviving documents, the original having been lost subsequently. Most of the entries commemorate individuals from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries but there are occasional later ones up to the seventeenth century. Some also provide information about burial places and the type of commemoration made. The individuals and religious houses prayed for have been clearly and carefully identified and this together with thorough indexing enhances its value for scholars of medieval religion. In addition there is a prosopographical list of abbots from 1079 to 1677.
