Jacques Sirmond Totally Explained

Everything about Jacques Sirmond totally explained

Jacques Sirmond (12 or 22 October 1559–October 7 1651) was a French scholar and Jesuit. Simond was born at Riom, Auvergne. He was educated at the Jesuit College of Billom; having been a novice at Verdun and then at Pont-Mousson, he entered into the order on the 26 July 1576. After having taught rhetoric at Paris he resided for a long time in Rome as secretary to Claudio Acquaviva (1590–1608). In 1637 he was confessor to Louis XIII.

Works

Sirmond was a most industrious scholar, and his criticisms were as enlightened as was possible for a man living in those times. He brought out many editions of Latin and Byzantine chroniclers of the Middle Ages:

Ennodius and Flodoard (1611)
Sidonius Apollinaris (1614)
the life of St Leo IX by the archdeacon Wibert (1615)
Marcellinus and Idatius (1619)
Anastasius the Librarian (1620)
Eusebius of Caesarea (1643)
Hincmar (1645)
Hrabanus Maurus (1647)
Rufinus and Loup de Ferrières (1650)
above all his edition of the capitularies of Charles the Bald (Karoli Calvi et successorum aliquot Franciae regum capitula, 1623)
edition of the councils of ancient France (Concilia antiquae Galliae, 1629, 3 vols., new ed. incomplete, 1789). An essay in which he denies the identity of St Denis of Paris and St Denis the Areopagite (1641), caused a very lively controversy from which his opinion came out victorious. His Opera varia, where this essay is to be found, as well as a description in Latin verse of his voyage from Paris to Rome in 1590, have appeared in 5 vols (1696; new ed. Venice, 1728). To him is attributed Elogio di cardinale Baronio (1607).
