Scope and Content
Biography
Dom Louis de Gonzague Le Pennuen was a Trappist monk who became Abbot of Our Lady of Melleray in France from 1949-1958. Melleray is the motherhouse of Gethsemani Abbey, so the abbot of this monastery was important in decisions affecting Merton. Le Pennuen was replaced by Dom Colomban Bissey.
