First Edition of this important work which is a Correction and Elucidation of the Baronius Caesar's "Annales ecclesiastici a Christi nato ad annum 1198". Antonio (Antoine) Pagi, French ecclesiastical historian. b.1624 Rognes, d. 1699 Aix. He studied with the Jesuits at Aix then entered the monastery of the Conventual Franciscans Arles. For twenty-nine years he was elected Provincial, an office he held four times. He devoted his spare time to the study of history. Discerning numerous chronological errors and frequent misstatements of fact in the "Annales Ecclesiastici" of Baronius, he made it his life-work to correct them and otherwise elucidate the valuable work. Pagi's first volume was printed during his lifetime (Paris, 1689); the remaining three volumes, reaching until 1198, the last year in the work of Baronius, were completed in manuscript shortly before his death. The whole work was edited in four volumes by his nephew François Pagi: "Critica Historico-Chronologica In Universos Annales Ecclesiasticos Em. Et Rev. Cxsaris Card. Baronii" (Geneva 1705; second ed. 1727). Mansi embodied it in his edition of the "Annales" of Baronius (Lucca, 1736-59). On the whole the "Critica" manifests great care and knowledge of history but is not entirely free from error. His other works are: "Dissertatio Hypatica Seu De Consulibus Xsareis" (Lyons, 1.
