Revision as of 03:22, 18 December 2024 by Srnec (talk | contribs) (on name)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Rabinatus (or Rabinato) was the bishop of Mondoñedo from 1172 or 1174 until 1199. He was a chancery official during the reign of Alfonso VII and perhaps under Ferdinand II as well. He was an archdeacon in the diocese before his elevation to the bishopric. He was bishop when the see was moved from Villamayor de Brea to Ribadeo in 1182.
The name Rabinatus (or Rapinatus) is well attested in Galicia. Its probably meaning is "one caught up (in the spirit)".
