  •   Crypt Capital 1
    Description: Western crypt, south side, capital next to door. Dates to 12th century, period when western part of the crypt was built.
    Reference: Repeated by Michel Joly, the abbot of Bour proposed that this inscription read, frater Benedictus Christo devotus, and Robert Saint-Jean suggested that it read frater Beotidus. Either one of these interpretations of the carved inscription is possible. It appears to be a name inscribed on the impost, but both transcriptions are hypothetics. Marie-Thérèse Morlet suggests the following possibilities, Hariboldus, Hairiboldus, Hairboldus which are close to what is carved on this capital.

    HAIREBOIDUS or HATIREBOIDEUS (?)
