Vincent Thuillier

Vincent Thuillier (1685–1736) was a French Maurist scholar, known as an author, editor and translator.

Life Thuillier was born at Coucy. He entered the Congregation of Saint Maur in 1703, and for most of his life taught theology at the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

The papal bull Unigenitus of 1713, aimed at Jansenism, found Thuillier initially an opponent.

Thuillier used the humanist name Thuillerius. He exchanged letters with Richard Bentley in Cambridge. John Walker from 1719 travelled to France, as Bentley's collaborator in a project to collate New Testament manuscripts, and Thuillier was one of the Benedictine scholars who assisted him.
