''Abbé'' (from Latin ''abbas'', in turn from Greek , ''abbas'', from Aramaic ''abba'', title of honour, literally "the father, my father," emphatic state of ''abh'', "father") is the French word for ''abbot''. It is the title for lower-ranking Catholic clergymen in France. A concordat passed between Pope Leo X and Francis I of France (between 1515 and 1521),〔 cites III under Kinds of Abbot〕 gave the kings of France the right to nominate 255 commendatory abbots (''abbés commendataires'') for almost all French abbeys, who received income from a monastery without needing to render a service. Since the mid-16th century, the title ''abbé'' has been used for all young clergymen with or without consecration. Their clothes consisted of a black or dark violet robes with a small collar; they were tonsured. Since those ''abbés'' only rarely commanded an abbey, they often worked in upper-class families as tutors, spiritual directors, etc.; others became writers. ==See also== *Abbot#Modern abbots not as superior *Abbé Pierre *Abbé Faria 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「Abbé」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
