See also:BALUZE, See also:ETIENNE (1630-1718) , See also:French See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Tulle on the 24th of See also:November 163o. He was educated at his native See also:town and took See also:minor orders. As secretary to See also:Pierre de See also:Marca, See also:archbishop of See also:Toulouse, he won the appreciation of that learned See also:prelate to such a degree that at his See also:death Marca See also:left him all his papers. Thus it came about that Baluze produced the first See also:complete edition of Marca's See also:treatise De libertatibus Ecclesiae Gallicanae (1663), and brought out his Marca hispanica (1688 f.). About 1667 Baluze entered See also:Colbert's service, and until 1700 was in See also:charge of the invaluable library belonging to that See also:minister and to his son the See also:marquis de Seignelai. He enriched it prodigiously (see the See also:history of the Colbertine library in the See also:Cabinet See also:des Manuscrits by M. See also:Leopold See also:Delisle, vol. i.), and Colbert rewarded him by obtaining various benefices for him, and the See also:post of See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king's See also:almoner (1679). Subsequently Baluze was appointed See also:professor of See also:Canon See also:law at the See also:College de See also:France on the 31st of See also:December 1689, and directed that See also:great institution from 1707 to 1710.
The See also:works which See also:place him in the first See also:rank of the scholars of his 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 are the Capitularia Regum Francorum (1674; new edition enlarged and corrected in 178o) ; the Nova Collectio Conciliorum (4 vols., 1677); the Miscellanea (7 vols., 1678-1715; new edition revised by Mansi, 4 vols. f., 1761-1764); the Letters of See also:Pope See also:Innocent III. (1682); and, finally, the Vitae Paparum Avenionensium, 1305-1394 (1693). But he was unfortunate enough to take up the history of See also:Auvergne just at the time when the See also:cardinal de See also:Bouillon, inheritor of the rights, and above all of the ambitious pretensions of the La Tour See also:family, was endeavouring to prove the descent of that See also:house in the See also:direct See also:line from the See also:ancient hereditary See also:counts of Auvergne of the 9th See also:century.
As See also:authentic documents in support of these pretensions could not be found, false ones were fabricated. The See also:production of See also:spurious genealogies had already been begun in the Histoire de la maison d'Auvergne published by Christophe Justel in 1645; and Chorier, the historian of Dauphiny, had included in the second See also:volume of his history (1672) a forged See also:deed which connected the La See also:Tours of Dauphiny with the La Tours of Auvergne. Next a See also:regular manufactory of forged documents was organized by a certain See also:Jean de See also:Bar, an intimate See also:companion of the cardinal. These rogues were skilful enough, for they succeeded in duping the most illustrious scholars; Dom Jean See also:Mabillon, the founder of Diplomatics, Dom See also:Thierry Ruinart and Baluze himself, called as experts, made a unanimously favourable See also:report on the 23rd of See also:July 1695. But cardinal de Bouillon had many enemies, and a See also:war of See also:pamphlets began. In See also:March 1698 Baluze in reply wrote a See also:Letter which proved nothing. Two years later, in 1700, Jean de Bar and his accomplices were arrested, and after a See also:long and searching inquiry were declared guilty in 1704. Baluze, nevertheless, was obstinate in his See also:opinion. He was convinced that the incriminated documents were genuine and proposed to do Justel's See also:work anew. Encouraged and financially supported by the cardinal de Bouillon, he first produced a Table genealogique in 1705, and then in 1709 a Histoire genealogique de la maison d' Auvergne, with " Proofs," among which, unfortunately, we find all the deeds which had been pronounced spurious. In the following See also:year he was suddenly engulfed in the disgrace which overtook his intriguing See also:patron: deprived of his appointments, See also:pensions and benefices, he was exiled far from See also:Paris. None the less he continued to work, and in 1717 published a history of his native town, Historiae Tutelensis libri tres. Before his death he succeeded in returning to Paris, where he died unconvinced of his errors on the 28th of July 1718. Was he dupe or See also:accomplice? The study of his See also:correspondence with the cardinal gives the impression that he was the victim of See also:clever cheats.
The history of the forgeries committed in the interests of the house of Bouillon forms a curious and instructive See also:episode in the history of French scholarship in the time of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XIV. It is to be found in the See also:Manuel de diplomatique by A. See also:Giry; and above all in a See also:note to the Euvres de See also:Saint-See also:Simon by M. de Boislisle (vol. xiv. pp. 533–558). The bibliography of Baluze's researches has been made by M. Rene Fage (1882, 1884) and his See also:Life told by M. Emile Fage (1899). To these we must add an amusing See also:book by G. See also:Clement-Simon, La Gaiete de Baluze; documents biographiques et litteraires
(1888). Baluze's will has been published by M. Leopold Delisle (Bibliotheque de l'Ecole de See also:Charles, 1872) ; his papers are now in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and in the Bibliotheque de 1'See also:Arsenal (Revue historique, t. xcviii. p. 309).
