| 释义 | > as lemmasurban deans a. A presbyter invested with jurisdiction or precedence (under the bishop or archdeacon) over a division of an archdeaconry; more fully called rural dean (see rural adj. 4); formerly (in some cases) dean of Christianity; see Christianity n. 4 (There were also urban deans (decani urbani): see Kennett Par. Antiq. II. 339.)Kennett, Du Cange, etc., have cited decanus episcopi in this sense from the ‘Laws of Edward the Confessor’ xxvii; but episcopi is an interpolation not in the original text, the decanus spoken of being really in sense 2 above.
