predicant

A friar of the Dominican order; Ð called also predicant and preaching friar; in France, Jacobin.

The Rev. Robert Gray, in “Letters during the course of a tour through Germany and Switzerland in the year 1791 and 1792,” has stated that Mechel has engraved Rubens’s designs from the Dance of Death, now perishing on the walls of the church-yard of the Predicant convent, where it was sketched in 1431.

Predicant, pred′i-kant, adj. predicating: preaching.—n. one who affirms anything: a preacher, esp. a preaching-friar.

And the good canon predicant would not lie.”

The loose leaves had been first collected by another Brother Henry, also a predicant friar.
