	Jean Mabillon
		Jean was a precocious child, and easily surpassed his school companions in their studies, while his pleasant disposition made him a general favourite.
		Mabillon was appointed to draw up a defence of these documents, and he made his defence the occasion of a statement of the true principles of documentary criticism.
		In 1682 Mabillon was sent by Colbert into Burgundy to examine certain ancient documents relative to the royal house; and in 1683 he was sent with Dom Michel Germain, at the king's expense, on a journey throughout Switzerland and Germany in search of materials for the history of the Church or of France.

	Diplomatic - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The word was adopted, rather pedantically, by the humanists of the Renaissance and applied by them to important deeds and to acts of sovereign authority, to privileges granted by kings and by great personages; and by degrees the term became extended and embraced generally the documents of the middle ages.
		Mabillon was at that time engaged in collecting material for a great history of his order.
		Mabillon had not taken cognizance of documents later than the 13th century.

	Mette Bruun - A Case in which a Revitalization of Something Medieval Turned out not to be Medievalism
		Mabillon was very much aware that the texts he was dealing with were of an ancient date, and his text critical work to a high extent forms an attempt to bridge the gap between the “then” of the texts and the “now” of the reader.
		Mabillon was a man of his time; his interest in learning, in the composition of a proper library and in the right balance between piety and study were in concordance with a significant part of the many texts on the gentlemanly ideal of l'honnête homme that were published at the time.
		To Mabillon and his fellow Maurists, Rancé's expressed point of view that study was alien to the spiritual purpose of the monk was of course a provocation.

	De re diplomatica libri VI, Jean Mabillon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mabillon’s De re diplomatica, first published in 1681, is perhaps his greatest contribution to the scholarly study of the Middle Ages.
		Mabillon was disturbed by the arbitrary rules for manuscript analysis used by the Dutch Jesuit Daniel Papebroch (1628-1714) in his work on the Bollandists’ Acta sanctorum, and laid a sounder foundation based on evidence gathered from the remarkable collection of manuscripts at Saint Germain des Prés.
		Within Mabillon’s lifetime a second edition was prepared incorporating his replies to his critics, and this third edition incorporates additional material gathered by the Italian philologist Giovanni Adimari, Marquis of Bumba.

		In the process of defending the charters, Mabillon gives a detailed history of the Latin script, and demonstrates the way in which the handwriting of his day developed out of the capital Roman letters.
		Mabillon is also know for his Acta Sanctorum Ordinis S. Benedicti (Paris, 1668-1702), and Annales Ordinis S. Benediciti, begun in 1703 and completed after his death by René Massuet and others.

	The Bobbio Missal - Cambridge University Press
		Mabillon immediately understood the importance of this codex, and he could hardly conceal his excitement in the initial report of his discovery.
		Mabillon explained in eleven detailed points why he thought this liturgical codex was a Sacramentarium Gallicanum found in Bobbio, and not a sacramentary produced in Bobbio or used there.
		Mabillon, then, reached the climax of his introduction, suggesting that this manuscript was produced in what he called provincia Maxima Sequanorum, that is, the diocese of Besançon, where the monastery of Luxeuil was located.

		Jean Mabillon was born of peasant stock in 1632 in a village in Champagne.

		Mabillon's Acta of the Benedictine saints differed from the plan of the Acta sanctorum of the Bollandists, which arranged the lives according to the saints' days of the year.

		He was tasked with determining which medieval legal documents that pertained to the property rights of specific churches and monasteries were indeed valid.
		His studies resulted in publishing a handbook called Res diplomatica (see the 1681 edition, as well as the supplement added by Mabillon in 1704 and the new edition of 1709) in which he discussed the rules for vetting documents.

	H-Net Review: Alison Frazier on The Bobbio Missal: Liturgy and Religious Culture in Merovingian Gaul
		Eliminating the Mozarabic (Visigothic), Ambrosian, and African liturgies, Mabillon concluded that the main section of the codex was a Gallican sacramentary compiled in late seventh-century Burgundy, possibly under the influence of insular traditions at Luxeuil.
		Mabillon's proposal of Burgundy, adopted by Lowe, suits several of the contributors, but Mabillon's more specific suggestion of Besançon is not renewed.
		As for dating, the position of Mabillon and Ludwig Traube--that the Missal is a late-seventh-century transcription of mostly earlier material--remains a consensus.

		In his book on medieval documents, De Re Diplomatica Libri Sex, the Benedictine monk Jean Mabillon founds the formal study of palaeography and diplomatics.
		"Mabillon began studying old documents with a view towards establishing their authenticity or falsity as a result of his investigations into doubts that had been raised as to the authenticity of Merovingian documents from the cathedral of St Denis in Paris by the Jesuit Daniel Papebroek.
		After Mabillon's work, a livelier awareness of the potential for forged or spurious documents became much more important, both for students of history and of law.".

		The book is a response to Armand-Jean de Rancé, abbot of La Trappe and founder of the Trappist reform, who had written several books questioning the right of monks to devote themselves to studies, which he saw as leading to pride and as inconsistent with early monastic ideals.
		The catalogue is an implicit rebuke to Rancé not only because it contains numerous volumes by monastic authors and about monastic scholarship but also because the creation of such an ideal library is exactly what Rancé was discouraging in all monastic groups.
		More importantly, it is a kind of bibliography, for the young scholars to whom Mabillon’s work is addressed, in the various areas named in its subheadings.
