		Here, we have no mere series of annals, such as were presented even by the excellent Tillemont, to whom Gibbon was indebted for much of his material, 52 but a complete work.
		It is as a whole that his work has maintained the position which it conquered for itself at once in historical literature.
		Tillemont, Le Nain de, Histoire des Empereurs, etc., treats each successive reign in a series of short chapters or headed articles, with notes appended on a wide variety of points, in the way that Gibbon loved.

		His father, a wealthy member of the legal class, being a devoted Jansenist, the boy was brought up in the little schools of Port Royal.
		In 1679 the storm of persecution drove him to settle on his family estate of Tillemont, between Montreuil and Vin-cennes.
		Gibbon vouches for his learning, when (in the 47th chapter) he speaks of " this incomparable guide, whose bigotry is overbalanced by the merits of erudition, diligence, veracity and scrupulous minuteness." There is a full account of his life in the 4th volume of Sainte-Beuve's Port Royal.

	The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter XV
		Tillemont was a good Catholic, but he was a good man and a very learned man. Moreover, the world had won a little freedom, and Tillemont was no ordinary priest, but a wealthy man, living on his estates, going from library to library to compare editions and manuscripts.
		Tillemont ungallantly proves that the sources of these stories are absolutely worthless, and that, according to the most reliable of the documents this "first lady martyr," as the Greek church calls her, died peacefully in her bed at an advanced age -- if there ever was such a person.
		The work so auspiciously begun by M. Tillemont has been in modern times so zealously and effectively pursued that a martyr's crown or a saint's halo must now be worth less than a dollar even in the Church of Rome.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Louis-Sebastien Le Nain de Tillemont
		At that time he resided in Port-Royal, but a little later, in 1679, when its community was dispersed, he withdrew to his small estate at Tillemont, between Montreuil and Vincennes, where he remained till his death twenty years later in 1698, devoting his time to exercises of piety and to historical work.
		Tillemont wrote in addition: "Histoire des empereurs et autres princes qui ont régné pendant les six premiers siècles de l'Eglise" (6 volumes in quarto degrees), and "Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire ecclésiastique des six premiers siècles" (16 volumes in quarto).
		Tillemont's style is dry, but he is an accurate and learned historian.

		A search of the company Register had shown that Tillemont is registered in Panama and is in all probability a "one ship" company with no assets now that the vessel was lost.
		He found that as Tillemont had no registered office in Panama nor an established place of business in Hong Kong service on it pursuant to Order 11 rule 4 or under Section 338 (2) of the Companies Ordinance was not possible.
		Having considered all that evidence, Patrick Chan J. said that he was not satisfied that Tillemont had shown that the grounding was due to errors of navigation or that the loss of the cargo was not due to the actual fault of the carrier, Tillemont, acting through its manager, Fairweather.

		This is certainly a very great difficulty; but one which, as Tillemont himself confesses, is not sufficient to overturn the marks of the period by which we assign the Homily, "Against the Jews," to the month of September, in the year 386.
		Certainly the persons best skilled in the Paschal reckonings, whom I have consulted, have admitted that an error of this sort sometimes does happen in such reckonings, and did happen not many years since; and that it is not always safe to prefer the Paschal indications to any other notes of time.

	Chrysostom: Twenty-One Homilies on the Statues
		But Tillemont assigns this Homily to the Monday of the fourth week in Lent, and indeed with the best reason, as we shall shew when we come to the thirteenth Homily.
		Tillemont endeavours also to change the position of this Homily, and to place it between the tenth and eleventh, which, however, as we have said in our remarks upon the twelfth, it cannot admit of.
		Tillemont further supports his argument by these words: in No. 6, the holy Doctor says, "We have passed through the second week of the fast." He infers, therefore, that two weeks only of the fast had passed away, and Tillemont on that ground determines, that it ought to be moved out of its place.

		Baronius places his name in the Roman Martyrology, Tillemont doubts whether with sufficient reason.
		Be this however as it may, when it is considered that the monks of Lérins, in common with the general body of the churchmen of Southern Gaul, were strenuous upholders of Semipelagianism, it will not be thought surprising that Vincentius should have been suspected of at least a leaning in that direction.
		Tillemont[?], who forbears to express himself decidedly, but evidently inclines to that view, says "L'opinion qui le condamne et l'abandonne aux Semipelagiens passe aujourd'hui pour la plus commune parmi les savans."

		Building on the transcriptions and notes of de Tillemont and his instructor, Antoine Le Maistre, Field presents an en-face French edition and English translation of the Life of Isabelle and Agnes’s open letter (dated 4 December 1282) concerning Louis IX’s piety and patronage of his sister’s Franciscan house at Longchamp.
		Nevertheless, Field includes sections that Du Cange transcribed but de Tillemont did not; de Tillemont noted that he did not include the few miracles that had been crossed out in the manuscript before him.
		It seems pitched at once both to scholars who want to follow the difficulties of establishing an “original” text from later copies and to first-year students who would prefer a summary of the texts’ topics and their most general significance to reading the texts themselves.

		To these prelates of the "Italic diocese" the appeal of Maximus seemed like the appeal of Athanasius, and more recently of Peter himself, to the sympathy of the church of Rome; and they re quested Theodosius to let the case be heard before a really General Council (Mansi, iii.
		Nothing further came of it; perhaps, says Tillemont, those who thus wrote in favour of Maximus "reconnurent bientot quel il etait" (ix., 502): so that when a Council did meet at Rome towards the end of 382, no steps were taken in his behalf.
