Note 54 — THE VOYAGE OF BERNARD THE WISE.
Reading edition
Mount St. Michel, on the coast of Brittany, which was commonly called St. Michel ad tumbam or ad tumbas, and was a place of great celebrity in the romantic, as well as in the religious, legends of the middle ages. It is more than probable that, before the foundation of the monastery, the top of the mount was occupied by a cromlech, like so many of the islands on this coast. [54]
