I just encountered your splendid site. I am an American scholar of the cult of St. Maurus, the first disciple of St. Benedict. According to a ninth century source, Abbot Odo of Glanfeuil (which St. Maurus founded according to tradition near Saumur/Le Mans)fled with the bones of St. Maur to the lands of Count Ausonius (Eudes, Odo) which appears to be your village of St. Maur at Jura). According to tradition, the cult of St Maur was maintained there for several centuries and contained several relics: part of the skull, two leg bones: tibias and (péronés); also an arm bone given to Solesmes in 1810; at the end of the 17th c the village claimed to have “all or almost all” of the bones of Maurus. Does anyone there now have any knowledge of the history of St. Maur of Glanfeuil's cult in your village?
