French priest and publisher of theological works, 1800-1875, compiler of Patrologiae cursus completus, a work in some 300 vols.

Fishburn and Hughes: "A French priest, theologian and publisher of theological literature. His most important publication is Patrology (1844-66), a collection of 'the teachings of the Fathers of the Church' consisting of 217 volumes of ecclesiastical writings in Latin up to the time of Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) and of 162 volumes of ecclesiastical writings in Greek up to 1439. The chief value of this work is that it contains texts that are not available in other editions. The introduction into Patrology of the writings of the character Aurelian is clearly apocryphal." (130)
