Extract

Louis Gougaud was born in 1877 at Malestroit, Morbihan, and, to his death, was faithfully attached to Brittany, exploring its ecclesiastical history, and regularly contributing to the Chronique d'histoire, de géographie et de littérature de la Bretagne. Educated at St. Vincent's College, he entered the university of Rennes as a student of law. From these early studies dates his interest in legal problems as displayed in his work on the history of matrimonial law. At the same time, he was attracted to artistic problems: his earliest publications (1900–6) appeared in literary periodicals.

1 In Efhemerid. liturgic, n.s., xii. 97–9. Another valuable publication is the ‘ Repertoire de facsimilés de manuscrits irlandais ’ in Rev. Celt., xxxiv, xxxv and xxxviii. In Rev. d'Hist. Ecc, xxxv. 191, Dom Gougaud describes recent bibliographical undertakings in Ireland.

2 The excellent reviews of all publications of Dom Gougaud, after 1923, found in Jahrbuch für Liturgiewissenschaft, are informative in those cases where the original articles are not available in this country. Dom Gougaud was a regular contributor to this Jahrbuch. His contributions are signed L.G and are mainly found in the sections dealing with the liturgy of the middle ages. Gougaud's position in the tradition of liturgical studies may be seen from ‘ L'Œuvre historique et littéraire de Solesmes (1833–1913) ‘ in Revue Mabillon, xxiii.

3 The bibliography of this article was reprinted in an enlarged form in Cath. Hist. Rev. (1930), xvi. 175–82. One of the most remarkable omissions in Dom Gougaud's bibliography (especially in Les saints Irlandais) is the autoptical research on Irish saints on the continent carried out by Fr. E. Hogan.

1 In Revue BenSdictine, xxiv. 360–73. Dom Gougaud does not mention the unique position held by St. Dympna in the liturgy of the martyrs.
