See also:MORIN, See also:JEAN (latinized JOANNES MORINUS) (1591-1659) , See also:French theologian, was See also:born in 1591 at See also:Blois, of See also:Protestant parents. He learned Latin and See also:Greek at Rochelle, and continued his studies at See also:Leiden, subsequently removing to See also:Paris. His See also:conversion to the See also:Roman See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church is ascribed to See also:Cardinal du See also:Perron. In 1618 he joined the See also:congregation of the See also:Oratory, and in due course took See also:priest's orders. In 1625 he visited See also:England in the See also:train of Henrietta Maria; in 164o he was at See also:Rome, on the invitation of Cardinal See also:Barberini, and was received with See also:special favour by See also:Pope See also:Urban VIII. He was, however, soon recalled to Paris by See also:Richelieu, and the See also:rest of his See also:life was spent in incessant See also:literary labour. The Histoire de la delivrance de l'eglise chretienne See also:par l'emp. Constantin, et de la grandeur et souverainetetemporelle See also:donne d l'eglise romaine par See also:les rois de See also:France (163o) gave See also:great offence at Rome, and a See also:Declaration (1654), directed against faults in the See also:administration of the Oratory, was strictly suppressed. So, too, his great See also:work on See also:penance gave equal offence to the See also:Jesuits and to See also:Port-Royal, and even after his See also:death, in 1659, the polemical vehemence of his Exercitationes biblicae, and the exaggeration of his assertion apud neotericos Haereticos verba Scripturarum non esse integra, non superficiem, non folia, nedum sensum, medullam et radicem rationis " See also:long led Protestants to treat his valuable contributions to the See also:history of the See also:Hebrew See also:text as a See also:mere utterance of Popish See also:prejudice.
Morin was a voluminous and prolix writer on ecclesiastical antiquities. His See also:principal See also:works in this See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

The literary See also:correspondence of Morin appeared in 1682 under the See also:title of Antiquitates ecclesiae orientalis (edited by R. See also:Simon).
Morin's See also:chief fame, however, rests on his biblical and See also:critical work.

Not unnaturally he formed a very exaggerated view of the value of the Samaritan tradition of the text (Exercitationes in utrumque Samaritanorum Pentateuchum, 1631). A similar See also:tone of exaggerated depreciation of the Massoretic Hebrew text, coloured by polemical See also:bias against Protestantism, See also:mars his greatest work, the See also:posthumous Exercitationes biblicae de hebraeici graecique textus sinceritate (166o), in which, following in the footsteps of Cappellus, but with incomparably greater learning, he brings irrefragable arguments against the then current theory of the See also:absolute integrity of the Hebrew text and the antiquity of the vowel points.
