Works

He then withdrew to St-Germain-des-Prés to prepare a new Greek edition and Latin translation of the works of Cyril of Jerusalem. He died at the Abbey of St. Germain-des-Prés, aged 41. His translation was issued after his death by Prudent Maran under the title: "S. Cyrilli Hiersolymit. opera quae extant omnia et ejus nomine circumferunter; ad mss. codd. castigata" (Paris, 1720; also in Patrologia Graeca, XXXIII). It is preceded by three learned dissertations on the life, writings, and doctrine of Cyril, and was at the time the standard edition.
