Excerpt from Étude sur la Réforme des Couvents Grecs au Xie Siècle
Quelques membres de l'Institut, qui veulent bien diriger les recherches de l'École française d'Athènes, ayant manifesté le désir de connaître les Bulles d'or du couvent de Patmos, que le savant Ross avait entrevues, nous avons obtenu, en 1853, des Pères de Saint-Jean, l'autorisation de les transcrire.
Il nous asemblé qu'elles jetaient sur l'administration des empereurs grecs et sur la vie monastique, en Orient, une lumière toute nouvelle.
