Jordi ( Latin: Georgius, George; died 947) was the bishop of Vic (Ausona) from 914 until his death. [1] After the death of bishop Idalguer, the clergy and people (plebs) of Vic acclaimed as bishop Jordi, whom they described as "noble, prudent, sober and chaste". [2] His election was confirmed on 17 June 914. [3]
In 935, he consecrated the second monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll under abbot Ennego. [4] In 945, he confirmed the foundation of the monastery of Santa Cecília de Montserrat under abbot Cesari and the rule of Saint Benedict, but retained episcopal control over it. [5] He also consecrated the church of Santa Maria de Manresa around 937. [6] [7]
During his episcopate, Jordi expanded the property holdings of the diocese. [8] On 3 August 915, a certain Leupardus (Llopart) [a] donated some land in Felporc to Vic for the sake of his soul and that of his wife, Gaudesinda (Godesenda). [9] On 28 February 919, Jordi purchased a vineyard at Seva from Ferminus (Fermí) and his wife, Eldogiva (El·lovija). [10] [11] On 17 July 918 the diocese was the recipient of half of a vineyard at Fontcoberta from one Ferruç. [12] In the town of Vic itself Jordi received an allodial grant on 21 October 921. [13] In 925, Jordi donated the churches of Sant Martí de Vinyoles and Sant Sadurní de Sovelles to the monastery of Ripoll. [14] In separate transactions on 11 November 941 and 19 November 942, Jordi purchased two halves of a vineyard at Sevedà for thirty solidi each. [15] He was the first bishop of Vic to organise an ecclesiastical structure in the region of the Moianès. [8]
