Antoine Augustine Calmet Antoine Augustine Calmet (February 26, 1672 - October 25, 1757) was a French Benedictine born in Mesnil-la-Horgne. 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 Snones in Lorraine. He died in Paris. 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.), and Dictionnaire historique, geographique, critique, chronologique ci littral de la Bible (Paris, 2 vols., 1720). These and numerous other works and editions of the Bible were known only to students, but as a pioneer in a branch of Biblical study which received a wide development in the 19th century. As a historical writer he is best known by his Histoire ecclisiastique et civile de la Lorraine (Nancy, 2728), founded on original research and various useful works on Lorraine, of which a full list is given in Vigourouxs Dictionnaire de la Bible.
