Anchin Abbey was a Benedictine monastery founded in 1079 in the commune of Pecquencourt in what is now the Nord department of France. ==History== ''Aquicintum'', later ''Aquacignium'' and then Anchin (or ''Enchin''), was a 25 hectare island forming part of the territory of Pecquencourt, between the ''marais'', the river Scarpe and the Bouchart brook.〔Enée-Aimé Escalier, ''L'abbaye d'Anchin, 1079-1792'', L. Lefort, Lille, 1852, p. 13 ((Google Books) )〕 The hermit and confessor Gordaine〔feast day 16 October〕 built his hermitage on the island in the 8th century)〔(forum - orthodoxe .com : saints for 16 October )〕 and is sometimes considered the abbey's founder: an anonymous 12th century painting in the church of Saint-Gilles at Pecquencourt shows his miracles.〔(Ministère de la culture - Palissy )〕 In 1096 the abbey was the site of a large tournament, the ''Tournoi d'Anchin'', at which 300 knights from Ostrevent, Hainaut, Cambrésis and Artois fought.〔Paul André Roger, ''Archives historiques et ecclésiastiques de la Picardie et de l'Artois'', Duval & Herment, Amiens, 1842, p. 265-268 ((Google Books) )〕 An important cultural centre from the 11th to 13th centuries, it produced many manuscripts and charters.〔Jean-Pierre Gerzaguet, ed., ''Les chartes de l'abbaye d'Anchin (1079-1201)'', Brepols, Turnhout (Belgium), 2005, collection ARTEM, numéro 6, 511 p. ISBN 2-503-52172-X〕 In 1562 Anchin College (now the Lycée Albert-Châtelet) was built by the Jesuits under the abbey's patronage. It was suppressed in the French Revolution, declared state property by the decree of 28 October 1790, sold to François-Joseph Tassart of Douai on 27 March 1792 for 47,700 livres and demolished later that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anchin Abbey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
