Life
Devic made his vows in 1687 at the age of 17 in the Prieuré Notre-Dame de la Daurade in Toulouse . In 1701 he went to Rome accompanied by the General Procurator of the Order. Here he dealt with manuscripts from the Vatican and procured a number of them for the monks in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Back in France, he worked with Dom Joseph Vaissète on the Histoire générale de Languedoc , the first volume of which was published in 1730, the second in 1733.
