luminatorn.

/ˈl(j)uːmɪneɪtə/

Etymology: < medieval Latin lūminātor ( < lūmināre : see luminate v.); the word occurs as the designation of an official who kept the accounts of expenditure for the lighting and ‘fabric’ of a church. Compare Old French luminier of the same meaning (in Auvergne, a churchwarden). See Du Cange s.vv. Luminator, Luminaria.

Historical.

In St. Andrews University, a student (one in each class) who was privileged to attend the professor's lectures without payment, and to receive certain dues from the other students, in return for services rendered by him.The former Librarian of the University, Mr. J. Maitland Anderson, informed us that the first student whom he found described in the records as ‘luminator’ entered the University in 1697; it is, however, probable that the title goes back to medieval times. It is supposed that the ‘luminator’ originally provided lights and fires to the classes; but there is no contemporary evidence of this. Between 1800 and 1827 his duties seem to have been those of a clerk (cf. quot. a1808). The office was abolished about 1830.It is commonly stated that the University seal contains a representation of a ‘luminator’ holding a candle while a professor is lecturing. But whether the object is a candle or something else (? a mace), and whether the figure holding it is meant for the ‘luminator’, seems to be quite uncertain.Called illuminator in Lyon's St. Andrews (1838) 171.
