• 1 - w:Abbey of Saint-Père-en-Vallée - wikt:archiclavus

  in text "archiclavus (high key-bearer, that is, administrator)" ; wikt doesn't have either 'archiclavus' or 'archiclavis' ; 'clavis' latin for 'key' ; one hit for "archiclavus administrator" of Gbooks has: "administrator of the whole monarchy of churches" (archiclavus totius monarchiae ecclesiarum) ; another place has "archiclavis, archiclavus ou aedituus" together as one mention ; another place equates 'archiclavus' and 'treasurer' ; a vocabulary has "archiclavus, archiclaverius -> custos" later "custos c. (see) armarii, librorum, thesauri" and others ; another place explicitly says 'archiclavus' same as 'archiclavis' ; another place has "archiclavus, mlat., M.: nhd.² bischöflicher oder mönchischer Würdenträger" (episcopal or monastic dignitary)

  hey, Gbooks [1] has

  "Indeed, the head sacristan - the 'cheficier in French, the custos sacri scrinii ("keeper of the holy reliquary"), claviger, or archiclavus ("head keykeeper") in Latin - ...

  Another Gbooks hit has

  Archiclavis, & Archiclavus. The chief Abbot.
