monastery. According to monastic tradition, if the absence were to be only a short one, i. e. if they were to return the same or the following day, they merely asked the abbot's blessing, usually at the conclusion of one of the canonical hours, and then requested the praj'ers of the community.

But if the journey was to occupy a longer time, a more solemn form of itinerarium was customary. Kneeling or lying prostrate at the altar steps, some

Ives (Yves), Saint, b. at Kermartin, near Tr^guier, Brittany, 17 October, 12.53; d. at Louannec, 19 May,


versicles and prayers were recited over them by the 1303, was the son of Helori, lord of Kermartin, and abbot, who then dismissed the travellers with his Azo du Kenquis. In 1267 Ives was sent to the Uni- blessing and the kiss of peace. This was most likely versify of Paris, where he graduated in civil law. He


the origin of the itinerarium as we have it at present. The constitu- tions of the various orders and con- gregations usually legislate for the particular prayers to be used by their memliers before a journey, and the dut.y of a community to pray for those who may be travelling is fulfilled at the present day by the versicle "Divinum auxihum", said for absent brethren at the end of each of the canonical hours. The inclusion of the itinerarium in the secular Roman Breviary indicates that its use is at least recommended to all clerics, though not obligatory. The " Caeremoniale Episcoporum " directs that a prelate ought to re- cite it with his chaplains or house- hold before commencing a journey; and Gavanti mentions an ancient pontifical containing a longer form of itinerarium for the use of prel- ates. The usual form consists of the canticle " Benedictus " with an- tiphon, certain versicles, and sev- eral collects. Two of these latter are very ancient, being found in the Gregorian Sacramentary. In some modern editions of the monastic Breviary a shorter form *'"'• '"^"phaw! 1 of itinerarium is also given, for use "ante ambulationem extra monasterium".

went to Orleans in 1277 to study canon law. On his return to Brit- tany having received minor orders he was appointed "official", or ecclesi- astical judge, of the archdeanery of Kennes (12S0); meanwhile he stud- ied Scripture, and there are strong reasons for holding that he joined the Franciscan Tertiaries sometime later at Guingamp. He was soon invited by the Bishop of Tr^guier to become his "official", and accepted the offer (1284). He displayed great zeal and rectitude in the dis- charge of Ills duty and did not hesi- tate to resist the unjust taxation of the king, which he considered an encroachment on the rights of the Church; by his charity he gained the title of advocate and patron of the poor. Having been ordained he was appointed to the parish of Tredrez in 12.S5 and eight years later to Louannec, where he died. He was buried in Treguier, and was canon- ized in 1347 by Clement VI, his feast being kept on 19 May. He is the patron of lawyers, though not, it is said, their model, for — "Sanctus Ivo erat Brito, Advocatus et non latro, ENBArH"" ' ^ ^^^ miranda populo."
