Description

Charles Paul Marie Sabatier (1858–1928), was a French clergyman and historian who produced the first modern biography of St. Francis of Assisi. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times. Sabatier's 1893 book La Vie de St. François d'Assise (translated as Life of St. Francis of Assisi in 1894) was placed upon the Index of Forbidden Books by the Catholic Church in 1894. This book gave a great stimulus to the study of medieval literary and religious documents. In 1908 he delivered the Jowett Lectures on Modernism at the Passmore Edwards Settlement, London. He also published in 1905 A Propos de la Séparation des Églises et de l'État, in 1909 Les Modernistes, Notes d'Histoire Religieuse Contemporaine, and in 1911 L'Orientation Religieuse de la France Actuelle.
