Ecclesiastical abbreviations
« on: Thursday 21 March 24 21:15 GMT (UK) »
There's an AB, AM, BA and an RUI and I'm trying to work out what they mean. Taking inspiration from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ecclesiastical_abbreviations it could be:

AB = Artium Baccalaureus (Bachelor of Arts)
AM = Artium Magister (Master of Arts)
BA = Bachelor of Arts (In which case why is it different to the AB?)
RUI = No idea!

Can anyone help, especially with the RUI?
Thanks

I think it stands for Royal University of Ireland, I.e. the place where she obtained her BA degree.
