	Diocese of Quimper
		Diocese of Quimper includes the Department of Finistère; as re-established by the Concordat of 1802 it embraces a large portion of the ancient Diocese of Quimper, also known as the Diocese of Cornouailles, the whole of the Diocese of St. Pol de Léon, and a small part of the Dioceses of Tréguier and Vannes.
		Among those born in the Diocese of Quimper are: the Jesuit Bougeant (1690-1743), author of the "History of the Treaty of Westphalia"; the Jesuit Hardouin (1646-1729); the critic Fréron (1719-71), who opposed Voltaire; Abbé Legris Duval (1765-1819), who under the Revolution directed the "Congrégation" for a time, after having founded many charitable and philanthropic institutions.
		In 1899 the religious congregations in the Diocese of Quimper had charge of 1 foundling hospital, 35 nurseries, 1 orphanage for boys, 9 orphanages for girls, 10 workrooms, 4 refuges, 29 hospitals, 166 district nursing houses, and 8 houses of retreat.

	Quimper France (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		QUIMPER, capital of the ancient diocese, kingdom and later duchy of Cornouaille, is the oldest Breton city.
		However, St Corentin suspected her of evil doings, and was proven right: at the urging of the Devil, the princess unlocked the gates, the city flooded and Gradlon escaped only by obeying Corentin and throwing his daughter into the sea.
		There's no great pressure in Quimper to rush around monuments or museums, and the most enjoyable option may be to take a boat and drift down "the prettiest river in France" to the open sea at Bénodet.

		She decided to visit the town of Quimper in the mid-‘70s on a buying trip and returned frequently, renting a house there for the summer of 1985 while working on her book.

	Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > Who was Quimper?
		I don't have the books in front of me but Quimper has a throw away line in v.2 that is something like "I once was John..." Of course, he also once was "a little light" and the alien who was present during Lord Fanny's rape.
		The John-a-dreams as Quimper and Guvenor is just a conceit - a meme - used to indoctrinate the reader into considering all the characters as fictionsuits, that everyone is an aspect of the whole.
		Quimper was once a little light, the promise of happiness that a new child is, but he was corrupted, and now lingers as a bad memory that haunts the people who came into contact with him.
