| Summary: | During the summer of 1748, dom Calmet, renowned Bible scholar and historian, travelled to Switzerland, in the steps of dom Mabillon, and in order to visit famous Benedictine monasteries (Muri, Sankt Gallen, Einsiedeln, …) and to gather documents. He also met local scholars, even if they stand on the other side of the confessional boundary ; for instance the law professor Johann Rudolf Iselin. Preserved in the University Library of Basle, Iselin’s correspondence reveals precious and hitherto unknown details about dom Calmet’s journey. Au cours de l’été 1748, dom Augustin Calmet, fameux historien et exégète, se rendit en Suisse, sur les traces de dom Mabillon, afin de visiter de vénérables abbayes bénédictines (Muri, Saint-Gall, Einsiedeln, …) et de copier des manuscrits. Il en profita également pour rencontrer des personnalités locales, qui ne partageaient pas nécessairement ses convictions religieuses ; ainsi Johann Rudolf Iselin, professeur de droit à Bâle. Sa correspondance, conservée à la Bibliothèque publique et universitaire de cette ville, apporte des renseignements inédits et intéressants sur le voyage qu’avait entrepris dom Calmet. |
