PETAU, DENYS (1583-1652)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 285 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PETAU, DENYS (1583-1652) , Jesuit scholar, better known as DIOxYSIUS PETAVIUS, was born at Orleans on the 21st of August 1583. Educated at Paris University, he came under the influence of Isaac
Scaliger
 , who directed his attention towards the obscurer fathers of the Church. In 1603 he was appointed to a lectureship at the university of Bourges, but resigned his place two years later, in order to enter the Society of Jesus. For many years he was professor of divinity at the College de Clermont, the
chief
  Jesuit
establishment
  in Paris; there he died on the 11th of December 1652. He was one of the most brilliant scholars in a learned age. Carrying on and improving the chronological labours of
Scaliger
 , he published in 1627 an Opus de doctrina lemporum, which has been often reprinted. An abridgment of this
work
 , Rationarium
tern
  porum, was translated into French and English, and has been brought down in a modern reprint to the year 1849. But Petau's
eminence
  chiefly rests on . his vast, but unfinished, De theologicis dogmalibus, the first systematic attempt ever made to treat the development of Christian
doctrine
  from the historical point of view.
