At the behest of the townspeople, but against his will, Abbot Aubin became bishop of the diocese in 529. He was canonised after his death in 560, and the abbey has been known by his name ever since. In this 1903 work, Bertrand de Broussillon (18411915) transcribes and interprets the many charters of the abbey, dating from its foundation period onwards. These charters document both the history of the abbey and that of the region. They also trace the many physical transformations that the abbey experienced through the centuries, and give the names of the people who were associated with it. Volume 2 reproduces the entire collection of the charters from the archives of the abbey, dating from 808 to 1903.Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Aubin d'Angers; Table.
