life and work

The Prior of Bonnefontaine

Tissier joined the Cistercian Abbey of Bonnefontaine (southeast of Hirson ) around 1622 . He studied at the Counter-Reformation Jesuits - University of Pont-à-Mousson , there was a student of Claude Tiphaine (1571-1641) and received his doctorate in theology. In 1641 he was verifiably prior in Bonnefontaine (for life, because the Commendatarabbot did not reside in the monastery). In 1664 he introduced strict observance in his monastery.

The library of the Cistercian fathers

Tissier is best known for his eight-volume Bibliotheca Patrum Cisterciensium (printed in Bonnefontaine) , in which he edited the most famous of the texts written by early Cistercians (as a Cistercian answer to the Spicilegium by the mason Luc d'Achery, 1609–1685, published since 1655 ) .
