The title originally given to a provisional administrator of a vacant abbey (held in "italic ">commendam, i.e.,in trust); later given for life with a claim to abbatial revenues and some degree of jurisdiction, if held by an ecclesiastic. It was ultimately abolished almost entirely, owing to serious abuses.
