(a) In an abbey (more fully  prior claustral): the deputy of an abbot, appointed to exercise certain authority, maintain discipline, and preside over the monastery in his absence. Also (more fully  prior conventual): the resident superior in a smaller or daughter monastery.		 (b) The superior or head of a house of Canons Regular (Augustinians, Arroasians, and originally Premonstratensians).		 (c) The superior of a house of Friars.In monastic cathedrals, in which the bishop took the place of abbot, the prior was the actual working head of the abbey. The position of prior is retained in some cathedrals as an honorary title, reflecting their historical links with religious orders.See also Grand Prior n. at grand adj., n., and adv. Compounds 2.
