Capitolo 81
GEOFFROI DI RENTS
Geoffroi, bishop of Rentals the second of the name to hold that

ABBOT OF STREET MEDARD
Probably this abbot was, although not certainly, Anselm of Soissons,
who became a bishop in 1145. However, chronology is confusing.
DIONYSIUS L' AREOPAGITE
The confusion respect to the identity of Dionysius the Areopagite
