Historia / Clergy
Término o frase en francés: clerc tonsuré
In a history journal article about seminarist and, later, doctor Armand-Jean de Mauvillain (1651-1677).

Context:

"Grand fut notre surprise en découvrant un acte notarié, daté du 5 juillet 1669, qualifiant le jeune Mauvillain '**clerc tonçuré (tonsuré)** de cestte ville de Paris y demeurant au séminaire Saint-Lazare, proche la porte Saint-Denis.'"

"Il est vrai que Armand-Jean, étant **clerc tonsuré,** pouvait bénéficier d'un canonicat, la tonsure, signe d'adoption par l'Église, étant la condition sine qua non d'attibution d'une prébende."

Does this mean he was priestly clerk? Or clerk to a priest? Or something else?

Merci!

tonsured cleric
Explicación:
"clerc" is clerk, or cleric, not priest : though a clerk in the middle ages was probably a priest.
See quote below (window at Chartres Cathedral).

TONSURED PRIEST


Explicación:
In seminars, to become a priest, you first got the first diaconate, then with the second diaconate you got the tonsure. So here they mean the stage previous to be a full "official" priest, but already being able to give communion, etc

Coincido L.J.Wessel van Leeuwen: the head gets shaved, then a "crowned" by being ordained into priesthood

Discrepo Michael GREEN: See below - a "clerc" is not necessarily a priest - and usually isn't one.

Discrepo writeaway: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&uid=16060... where does it say he was a priest?

Discrepo Christopher Crockett: Necessary distinction between a "cleric" and a "priest": All priests are clerics, but not all clerics are priests.

Ejemplos de uso:
  • At left is an altar covered with a cloth- a large gold chalice stands on it. At center kneels a tonsured cleric.

Coincido BrigitteHilgner: My spontaneous idea, too. It's definitely wrong to assume that a medieval clerk was always a priest.

  -> Thank you : and the text is 17c, when a clerk, tonsured or not, was even less likely to be a priest :)

Coincido Christopher Crockett: Armand-Jean held a prebend in a church (e.g., the cathedral), but he only had to have been tonsured to do this --he did not have to be a priest and may or may not have been one. Some medieval exegetes saw tonsure as typologically equal to circumcision.

  -> Thank you. Well, put like that, I think I'd rather be tonsured ... ;)
