This was a new one for me. Although it does make a lot of sense that a sister, monk, priest, etc. get permission to publish material from their superior.

I knew the imprimatur, but didn't connect them right away.

I have seen this term on the title page of books, but I didn’t know what it was. I knew about “imprimatur” and “nihil obstat.”
