Andrew Cusack (3992 words) |
 | AMONG THE CURIOSITIES held in the St Andrews University Museum is the death mask of Pedro de Luna (1328-1423), one of the Avignon antipopes, who styled himself Benedict XIII. |
| De Luna issued bulls granting university status to the group of scholars at St Andrews, and thus the Universitas Doctorum Magistrorum et Scholarum Sancti Andreae apud Scotus was born. |
| De Luna's name lives on at St Andrews in the University's coat of arms: the chief of the shield features a crescent, punning on the Antipope's last name, which of course is Spanish for 'moon'. |
