ARCHIMANDRITE (from Gr. apxcov, a ruler, and av3pa, a fold or monastery)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 368 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARCHIMANDRITE (from Gr. apxcov, a ruler, and av3pa, a fold or monastery) , a title in the Greek
Church
  applied to a superior abbot, who has the supervision of several abbots and monasteries, or to the abbot of some specially
great
  and important monastery, the title for an
ordinary
  abbot being hegumenos. The title occurs for the first time in a
letter
  to Epiphanius, prefixed to his Panarium (c. 375), but the Lausiac History of Palladius may be evidence that it was in common use in the 4th
century
  as applied to Pachomius (q.v.). In
Russia
  the bishops are commonly selected from the archimandrites. The word occurs in the
Regula
  Columbani (c. 7), and du Cange gives a few other cases of its use in Latin documents, but it never came into vogue in the West. Owing to intercourse with Greek and Slavonic Christianity, the title is sometimes to be met with in southern Italy and Sicily, and in
Hungary
  and Poland.
See the article in the Dictionnaire d'archeologie chretienne et de liturgie.
