SIRMOND, JACQUES (1559-1651)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 157 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIRMOND, JACQUES (1559-1651) , French scholar and Jesuit, was born at
Riom
 , Auvergne, on the 12th or the 22nd of October 1559. He was educated at the Jesuit College of Billom; having been a novice at Verdun and then at Pont-a-Mousson, he entered into the order on the 26th of July 1576. After having taught
rhetoric
  at Paris he resided for a
long
  time in Rome as secretary to R. P. Aquaviva (1590-1608); in 1637 he was confessor to Louis XIII. He died on the 7th of October 1651. Father Sirmond was a most industrious scholar, and his criticisms were as enlightened as was possible for a man living in those times. He brought out many editions of Latin and Byzantine chroniclers of the middle ages: Ennodius and
Flodoard
  (1611), Sidonius Apollinaris (1614), the
life
  of St Leo IX. by the archdeacon Wibert (1615),
Marcellinus
  and Idatius (1619),
Anastasius
  the librarian (1620),
Eusebius
  of Caesarea (1643), Hincmar (1645), Hrabanus Maurus (1647), Rufinus and Loup de Ferrieres (1650), &c., and above all his edition of the capitularies of Charles the Bald (Karoli Calvi et successorum aliquot Franciae regum capitula, 1623) and of the councils of ancient France (Concilia antiquae Galliae, 1629, 3 vols., new ed. incomplete, 1789). An essay in which he denies the identity of St Denis of Paris and St Denis the Areopagite (1641), caused a very lively controversy from which his
opinion
  came out victorious. His Opera varia, where this essay is to be found, as well as a description in Latin verse of his voyage from Paris to Rome in 1590, have appeared in 5 vols. (1696; new ed. Venice, 1728). To him is attributed, and no doubt correctly, Elogio di cardinale Baronio (1607).
See the Bibliotheque des Peres de la Compagnie de Jesus by Father Carlos Sommervogel, tome vii. (1896).
