LOUIS See also:MARIE See also:OLIVIER (1843– ) , See also:French See also:scholar and ecclesiastic, was See also:born at See also:Saint See also:Servan in See also:Brittany on the 13th of See also:September 1843. Two scientific missions—to See also:Mount See also:Athos in 1874 and to See also:Asia See also:Minor in 1876—appeared at first to incline him towards the study of the See also:ancient See also:history of the See also:Christian churches of the See also:East. Afterwards, however, it was the Western See also:- CHURCH

church which absorbed almost his whole See also:attention. In 1877 he received the degree of docteur es lettres with two remarkable theses, a dissertation De Macario magnete, and an Etude sur le See also:Liber pontificalis, in which he explained with unerring See also:critical acumen the origin of that celebrated See also:chronicle, determined the different See also:editions and their interrelation, and stated precisely the value of his See also:evidence. Immediately after-wards he was appointed See also:professor at the See also:Catholic See also:Institute in See also:Paris, and for eight years presented the example and See also:model, then rare in See also:France, of a See also:priest teaching church history according to the rules of scientific See also:criticism. His course, bold even to the point of rashness in the eyes of the traditionalist exegetists, was at length suspended. In See also:November 1885 he was appointed lecturer at the Ecole Pratique See also:des Hautes Etudes. In 1886 he published See also:volume i. of his learned edition of the Liber pontificalis (completed in 1892 by volume ii.), in which he resumed and, completed the results he had attained in his French thesis. In 1888 he was elected member of the Academie des See also:Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, and was afterwards appointed director of the French school of See also:archaeology at See also:Rome. Much See also:light is thrown upon the Christian origins, especially those of France, by his Origines du culte chretien, etude sur la liturgie latine avant See also:Charlemagne
(1889; Eng. trans. by M. L. McClure, Christian See also:Worship: its Origin and See also:Evolution, See also:London, 1902, 2nd ed. 1904) ; Memoire sur l'origine des dioceses episcopaux dans l'ancienne Gaule (189o), the preliminary See also:sketch of a more detailed See also:work, Faster episcopaux dons l'ancienne Gaule (vol. i. See also:Les provinces du sud-est, 1894, and vol. ii. L'See also:Aquitaine et les Lyonnaises, 1899); and Catalogues episcopaux de la See also:province de See also:Tours (1898). When a proposal was set on See also:foot to bring about a reconciliation between the See also:Roman Church and the Christian Churches of the East, the See also:Abbe Duchesne endeavoured to. show that the See also:union of those churches was possible See also:tinder the Roman supremacy, because unity did not necessarily See also:entail uniformity. His Autonomies ecclesiastiques; eglises separees (1897), in which he speaks of the origin of the See also:Anglican Church, but treats especially of the origin of the See also:Greek Churches of the East, was received with scant favour in certain narrow circles of the pontifical See also:court. In 1906 he began to publish, under the See also:title of Histoire ancienne de l'eglise, a course of lectures which he had already delivered upon the See also:early ages of the Church, and of which a few See also:manuscript copies were circulated. The second volume appeared in 1908. In these lectures Duchesne touches cleverly upon. the most delicate problems, and, without any elaborate display of erudition, presents conclusions of which See also:account must be taken. His incisive See also:style, his fearless and often ruthless criticism, and his wide and penetrating erudition, make him a redoubtable adversary in the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.
