See also:AUBIGNE, See also:JEAN See also:HENRI MERLE D' (1794-1872), Swiss See also:Protestant divine and historian, was See also:born on the 16th of See also:August 1794, at Eaux See also:Vives, near See also:Geneva. The ancestors of his See also:father, Aline See also:Robert Merle d'Aubigne (1755-1799), were See also:French Protestant refugees. Jean Henri was destined by his parents to a commercial See also:life; but at See also:college he decided to be ordained. He was profoundly influenced by Robert See also:Haldane, the Scottish missionary and preacher who visited Geneva. When in 1817 he went abroad to further his See also:education, See also:Germany was about to celebrate the tercentenary of the See also:Reformation; and thus See also:early he conceived the ambition to write the See also:history of that See also:great See also:epoch. At See also:Berlin he received stimulus from teachers so unlike as J. A. W. See also:Neander and W. M. L. de Wette. After presiding for five years over the French Protestant See also:- CHURCH

He became also See also:president of the See also:consistory of the French and See also:German Protestant churches. At the Belgian revolution of 1830 he thought it advisable to undertake See also:pastoral See also:work at See also:home rather than to accept an educational See also:post in the See also:family of the Dutch See also:- KING

king. The Evangelical Society had been founded with the See also:idea of promoting evangelical See also:Christianity in Geneva and elsewhere, but it was found that there was also needed a theological school for the training of pastors. On his return to See also:Switzerland, d'Aubigne was invited to become See also:professor of church history in an institution of the See also:kind, and continued to labour in the cause of evangelical Protestantism. In him the Evangelical See also:Alliance found a hearty See also:promoter. He frequently visited See also:England, was made a D.C.L. by See also:- OXFORD

Oxford University, and received civic honours from the See also:city of See also:Edinburgh. He died suddenly in 1872.
His See also:principal See also:works are—Discours sur l'etude de l'histoire de Chrislianisme (Geneva, 1832); Le Lutheranisme et la Reforme (See also:Paris, 1844); Germany, England and See also:Scotland, or Recollections of a Swiss Pastor (See also:London, 1848); Trois siecles de lutte en Ecosse, ou deux rois et deux royaumes; Le Protecteur ou la republique d'Angleterre aux jours de See also:Cromwell (Paris, 1848); Le Concile et l'infaillibilite (1870) ; Histoire de la Reformation au X Vltie"'e siecle (Paris, 1835-1853; new ed:, 1861-1862, in 5 vols.); and Histoire de la Reformation en See also:Europe au temps de See also:Calvin (8 vols., 1862-1877).
The first portion of his Histoire de la Reformation, which was devoted to the earlier See also:period of the See also:movement in Germany, gave him at once a foremost See also:place amongst See also:modern French ecclesiastical historians, and was translated into most See also:European See also:tongues. The second portion, dealing with reform in the timeof Calvin, was not less thorough, and had a subject hitherto less exhaustively treated, but it did not meet with the same success. This See also:part of the subject, with which he was most competent to See also:deal, was all but completed at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time of his See also:death. Among his See also:minor See also:treatises, the most important are the vindication of the See also:character and aims of See also:Oliver Cromwell, and the See also:sketch of the contendings of the Church of Scotland.
Indefatigable in sifting See also:original documents, Aubigne had amassed a See also:wealth of See also:authentic See also:information; but his See also:desire to give in all cases a full and graphic picture, assisted by a vivid See also:imagination, betrayed him into excess of detail concerning minor events, and in a few cases into filling up a narrative by inference from later conditions. Moreover, in his profound sympathy , with the Reformers, he too frequently becomes their apologist. But his work is a See also:monument of painstaking sincerity, and brings us into See also:direct contact with the spirit of the period.
