(Binius, Bignaeus)<\/p>\n
French theologian and patrologist, b. about 1546 at Bernières-le-Patry, Normandy; d. about 1595. He studied at the College of Caen, and at the Sorbonne in Paris where he received the doctorate. He was named canon of his native Diocese of Bayeux and, later, dean of the church of Mans. At the Provincial Council of Rouen, in 1581, he sustained the rights of his cathedral chapter against Bernadin de St. François, Bishop of Bayeux, and provoked an unfortunate conflict with the latter which ended in de la Bigne’s resignation from his canonry. He resumed, then, at the Sorbonne the patristic studies in which he had been long engaged. He had early perceived that Protestant misquotation and misinterpretation of patristic texts was a menace to Catholic interests and resolved to collect and edit the available documents of the Fathers. He published in 1575 his “Sacra Bibliotheca Sanctorum Patrum” (Paris, 8 vols.; additional volume in 1579; later editions, Paris, 1589; Lyons, 27 vols., 1677; Cologne, 1694). It contains the writing, some complete, some fragmentary, of our two hundred Fathers, many published for the first time. Particular care was given to the elucidation of texts corrupted by heretics. This work was the pioneer in the field of critical patristics. He published, also “Statuta Synodalia Parisiensium Episcoporum, Galonis Adonis et Willilmi; item Decreta Petri et Galteri, Senonensium Episcoporum” (Paris, 1578); and an edition of St. Isidore of Seville (Paris, 1580), in which for the first time the latter’s works were gathered in one work.<\/p>\n

a French theologian, was born at Bernieres-le-Patry in 1546, and first studied at Caen, then went to Paris, where he was made doctor in the Sorbonne. Seconded by his superiors, he gave a collection of the Fathers of the Church, an edition of which, commenced in 1575, was completed in 1578. He was appointed successively canon of Bayeux, theologist of that diocese, and dean of the Church of Mons. Being sent to the provincial Council of Rouen in 1581, he drew down upon himself the animadversion of his bishop by sustaining against him the prerogatives of his chapter, and he finally resigned his canonship. He died at Paris about 1590. He wrote, Bibliotheca Veterunm Psatrun et Antiquarsumn Scariptorumn Ecclesiasticorum Latine (Paris, 1575): Appendix, sive Tomus Nonus (1579; 2d ed. Paris, 1589): Statuta Synodalia Parisiensium Episcoparnum Galonis, Adonis et Willielmi; Item, Decreta Petri et Galteri Senonensium Episcoparum (ibid. 1578): S. Isilori lispalensis Opera (ibid. 1580).
