Council of Autun.

S. Leger, Bishop of Autun, held a Council in this City, in which he made some Constitu∣tions for Monks; wherein they are ordered, To appropriate nothing to themselves, not * 1.1 to be seen in Towns, To obey their Abbots, To let no Woman come into their Monasteries, To suffer no Vagabond Friers, To keep S. Benedict's Rules, and exactly to discharge their Duty: It appoints different Penalties against Transgressors, among which is reckoned the Basti∣nado for simple Friers. Some place this Council in 663, others in 670. and some others in 666, because in his last Will it is said, That in the 7th Year of his Pontificate, which an∣swers the 666th Year of Christ, he was present at a Council of 54 Bishops: But those 54 Bishops did not meet at Autun, but in a Place named Christiac; and the Constitutions above-mention'd, are intituled, in the old Collection of the Church of Angers, Canons of the Coun∣cil of Autun.
