COMMENDATION (from the Lat. commendare, to entrust to the charge of, or to procure a favour for)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 765 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COMMENDATION (from the Lat. commendare, to entrust to the charge of, or to procure a favour for) , approval, especially when expressed to one person on behalf of another, a recommendation. The word is used in a liturgical sense for an
office
  commending the souls of the dying and dead to the mercies of God. In feudal law the
term
  is applied to the practice of a freeman placing himself under the
protection
  of a lord (see
FEUDALISM
 ), and in ecclesiastical law to the granting of benefices in commendam. A
benefice
  was held in commendam when granted either temporarily until a vacancy was filled up, or to a layman, or, in
case
  of a monastery or abbey, to a secular cleric to enjoy the revenues and privileges for
life
  (see ABBO:), or to a
bishop
  to hold together with his see. An act of 1836 prohibited the holding of benefices in commendam in England.
