CALMET, ANTOINE AUGUSTIN (16721757)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 59 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALMET, ANTOINE AUGUSTIN (16721757) , French
Benedictine
 , was born at Mesnil-la-Horgne on the 26th of
February
  1672. At the age of seventeen he joined the
Benedictine
  order, and in 1698 was appointed to teach theology and philosophy at the abbey of Moyen-Moutier. He was successively prior at Lay, abbot at
Nancy
  and of Senones in
Lorraine
 . He died in Paris on the 25th of October 1757. The erudition of Calmet's exegetical writings won him a reputation that was not confined to the Roman Catholic
Church
 , but they have failed to stand the test of modern scholarship. The most noteworthy are :Commentaire de la Bible (Paris, 23 vols.,17o71716), and Dictionnaire historique, geographique, critique, chronologique et litteral de la Bible (Paris, 2 vols., 1720). These and numerous other works and editions of the Bible are known only to students, but as a
pioneer
  in a branch of Biblical study which received a wide development in the 19th century, Calmet is worthy of remembrance. As a historical writer he is best known by his Histoire ecclesiastique et civile de la
Lorraine
  (
Nancy
 , 1728), founded on
original
  research and various useful works on Lorraine, of which a full
list
  is given In Vigouroux's Dictionnaire de la Bible.
See A. Digot, Notice biographique et littiraire sur Dom Augustin Calmet (Nancy, 186o).
