Saunt Proc

Proc bears the honorific Saunt, marking a thinker held in veneration within the mathic world. In the present account, the name is used adjectivally ("Procian") to characterize a particular interpretive stance rather than to introduce biographical detail.

First appearance and context

The name is invoked by Fraa Orolo during a kitchen dialog among avout, when he jests that no one present supports “the novel hypothesis of Saunt Proc,” using it as a rhetorical prod while steering the exchange.

Role and function

Orolo later describes an “ur‑Procian mentality” as having influenced translations and selections of foundational texts, placing that tendency in the Old Mathic Age before the rise of the Mystagogue. The passage does not define Proc’s own doctrines; rather, it shows the name functioning as a label for a school of interpretation recognized by avout.

Relationships and references

• Referenced by Fraa Orolo as shorthand for an interpretive posture in debate.
• Mentioned alongside discussion of reading the work of Saunt Cartas in the original; the cited concern is that “Procian” habits affected later translations and selections. The text here does not quote Proc or attribute specific propositions beyond this usage.

Current status

Only indirect references are provided in this account. No dates, locales, or biographical facts for Saunt Proc are given; the figure is treated as a known historical saunt whose name serves as an adjective for a recognizable interpretive stance.
