See also:HARDOUIN, See also:JEAN (1646-1729) , See also:French classical See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Quimper in See also:Brittany. Having acquired a See also:taste for literature in his See also:father's See also:book-See also:shop, he sought and obtained about his sixteenth See also:year See also:admission into the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of the See also:Jesuits. In See also:Paris, where he went to study See also:theology, he ultimately became librarian of the See also:College 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 le See also:Grand in 1683, and he died there on the 3rd of See also:September 1729. His first published See also:work was an edition of See also:Themistius (1684), which included no fewer than thirteen new orations. On the See also:advice of Jean See also:Garnier (1612-1681) he undertook to edit the Natural See also:History of See also:Pliny for the Delphin See also:series, a task which he completed in five years. His See also:attention having been turned to See also:numismatics as See also:auxiliary to his See also:great editorial labours, he published several learned See also:works in that See also:department, marred, however, as almost everything he did was marred, by a determination to be at all hazards different from other interpreters. It is sufficient to mention his Nummi antiqui populorum et See also:erbium illustrati (1684), Antirrheticus de nummis antiquis coloniarum et municipiorum (1689), and Chronologia Veteris Testamenti ad vulgatam versionem exacta et nummis illustrata (1696). By the ecclesiastical authorities Hardouin was appointed to supervise the Conciliorum collectio regia See also:maxima
(1715); but he was accused of suppressing. important documents amounts to roo,000, and at the Kumbh-See also:mela to 300,000; in and foisting in apocryphal See also:matter, and by. the order of the
See also:parlement of Paris (then at See also:war with the Jesuits) the publication of the work was delayed. It is really a valuable collection, much cited by scholars. Hardouin declared that all the See also:councils supposed to have taken See also:place before the See also:council of See also:Trent were fictitious. It is, however, as the originator of a variety of paradoxical theories that Hardouin is now best remembered. The most remarkable, contained in his Chronologiae ex nummis antiquis restitutae (1696) and Prolegomena ad censuram veterum scriptorum, was to the effect that, with the exception of the works of See also:Homer, See also:Herodotus and See also:Cicero, the Natural History of Pliny, the Georgics of See also:Virgil, and the Satires and Epistles of See also:Horace, all the See also:ancient See also:classics of See also:Greece and See also:Rome were See also:spurious, having been manufactured by monks of the 13th See also:century, under the direction of a certain See also:Severus Archontius. He denied the genuineness of most ancient works of See also:art, coins and See also:inscriptions, and declared that the New Testament was originally written in Latin.
