French priest and historian. Born in the mountain village of Saint-Piermont in northeastern France. After studying at the parish seminary in Reims, he entered the Abbey of Saint-Remy in the same city in 1653, and after becoming a priest he moved to the Abbey of Corby, then to the Abbey of Saint-Denis in Paris, and from 1664 to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. All of these monasteries belonged to the newly established Order of Saint-Maur in 1618. Historical theology and paleographical research were popular in this order, and Mabillon was a representative figure in this field. While directing the collection of historical materials through the well-established communication network of the Order of Saint-Maur, he published a series of large editions, including The Lives of the Saints of Saint Benedict, The Collected Works of Saint Bernard, and The Collected Works of Saint Augustine. His De re diplomatica (1681) in particular immortalized his name as the work that established an unshakable foundation for paleography in Western Europe. At that time he was described as the most learned and yet most humble man in France.

フランスの聖職者、歴史家。フランス北東部の山村サン・ピエルモンに生まれる。ランスの教区神学校で学んだのち、1653年同市のサン・ルミ修道院に入り、司祭になってからコルビー修道院、さらにパリのサン・ドニ修道院、1664年からはサン・ジェルマン・デ・プレ修道院に移った。これらの修道院は、いずれも1618年新設のサン・モール修道会に属していた。この修道会では歴史神学と古文書研究が盛んで、マビヨンはその代表的人物であった。サン・モール修道会の整備された通信網による史料収集を指揮しつつ、彼は『聖ベネディクト修道会聖者伝』『聖ベルナルドゥス全集』『聖アウグスティヌス全集』など大部の版本を次々に刊行したが、とくに『古文書論』De re diplomatica(1681)は、西欧における古文書学に不動の基礎を据えたものとして彼の名を不朽にした。当時、彼はフランスでもっとも学殖深く、しかももっとも謙虚な人と評された。 [今野國雄 2017年12月12日] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
