DOM CALMET (Augustin) - Histoire ecclésiastique et civile de Lorraine qui comprend ce qui s'est passé de plus mémorable dans l'Évêché de Trèves & dans les Évêchés de Metz, Toul & Verdun, depuis l'entrée de Jules César dans les Gaules, jusqu'à la mort de Charles V, duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Nancy, Jean-Baptiste Cusson, 1728 ; in-folio, Preface + CCXL columns + 11 plates + 1268 columns + 580 columns of proofs+ table and errata of the first volume + XV + 1466 columns + 21 plates (seals and coins) + DCLXXX columns of proofs + table + errata of the second volume + CCVII + 13 plates + 1340 columns + DCXCVI columns of proofs + table of contents, contemporary full vellum bindings, smooth spines, red morocco title-piece, spotted edges, jaws restored. All 3 volumes. Antoine Calmet, Dom Augustin in religion, was born on February 26, 1672 in Ménil-la-Horgne near Commercy, Lorraine, into a modest family (his father was a blacksmith). A keen student from an early age, he was an 18th-century exegete and scholar from Lorraine, known as Dom Calmet, a Benedictine from the Congregation of Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe. In 1728, Dom Calmet was appointed abbot of Senones, the capital of the principality of Salm. It was in the great Vosges abbey that he worked and lived the latter part of his life, maintaining a correspondence with numerous scholars. He died there on October 25, 1757. Dom Calmet left an immense body of work. His best-known work is his Histoire de Lorraine, the second edition of which was written in Senones. It was also in Senones that he wrote a now-forgotten work, a 17-volume Histoire universelle, on which Voltaire collaborated for a few days in 1753; a Bible in Latin and French, with a Commentaire littéral et critique sur tous les livres de l'Ancien & Nouveau Testament (Paris (1707-1716; 26 vol. in-4). The Commentaire, a major work by the Abbé de Senones, who constantly returned to make corrections or check translations, was reproduced separately under the title Trésor d'antiquités sacrées et profanes, from 1722, in 9 volumes. Complete with plates. Proofs at the end of each volume. Ex-libris Claude Hirtzmann.
