Abbaye bénédictine de Fécamp is documented in A book by Jean-Pierre Lantaz, 『Bénédictine : d'un alambic à cinq continents : des origines à 1989』 (in translation: "Bénédictine: from one still to five continents, from the origins to 1989"; Éditions Bertout, 1991), is bibliographically listed in the BnF Catalogue général (the French National Library’s general catalogue) as a history of the Bénédictine company.preliminary

Scope: BnF Catalogue général search-result display (bibliography only). The book text was not read.

Note: The Gallica text could not be reached because of an ALTCHA CAPTCHA; no CAPTCHA bypass was attempted. A footnote in French Wikipedia cites p.18 of this book as a source for 『ヴィンチェッリの実在を疑う記述』 (in translation: "a statement questioning whether Vincelli really existed"), but Wikipedia was excluded as a source and that assertion is not based on it here. No peer-reviewed or academic secondary source, such as a history paper or university-press book citing Lantaz to question Vincelli’s existence, could be found to corroborate this point; such a source is recorded as 『無い』 (in translation: "not found").

Context: The displayed entry reads 「Lantaz, Jean-Pierre／Bénédictine : d'un alambic à cinq continents : des origines à 1989 / Jean-Pierre Lantaz／Ed. Bertout／1991／Livres／Consultable sur Gallica」 (in translation: "Lantaz, Jean-Pierre / Bénédictine: from one still to five continents, from the origins to 1989 / Jean-Pierre Lantaz / Ed. Bertout / 1991 / Books / Available on Gallica").
Limitations: Only bibliographic information was checked; the book text, including p.18, which is described as containing a statement questioning Vincelli’s existence, was not read. No peer-reviewed academic secondary source citing this book was found.
