from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Batiffol (born January 27, 1861 in Toulouse , † January 13, 1929 in Paris ) was a Roman Catholic clergyman and church historian .

From 1878 Batiffol studied philosophy and theology at the Saint-Sulpice seminary in Paris . After his ordination in 1884, he continued his studies at the Institut Catholique and at the École pratique des hautes études . He studied with the church historian Louis Duchesne . He then studied from 1887 to 1889 in Rome , especially with Giovanni Battista de Rossi , archeology , researched the liturgy and ancient Christian literature. He paid particular attention to the examination of the Codex Beratinus 1 , the Codex Beratinus 2 and the Codex Curiensis as well as some other manuscripts. In 1887 he discovered and described the Codex Vaticanus Graecus 2061 .

From 1889 to 1898 and from 1907 to 1929 he worked as a chaplain at the Paris Ecole Sainte-Barbe . Together with his friend Marie-Joseph Lagrange , he founded the magazine Revue Biblique in 1892 , which represented the historical-critical method of exegesis of the Old and New Testament. In 1899 he also founded the Bulletin de littérature ecclésiastique .

In 1898 he became head of the Catholic Institute of Toulouse .

He set his focus in the field of historical-critical theology, especially in the history of dogma . His study of the Eucharist from 1905 was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum . Because of this and because of his hagiographic criticism, he lost his chair after the publication of the encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis on September 8, 1907, on charges of modernism .

From then on he lived in Paris and from 1915 worked as titular canon in Notre-Dame de Paris .
