1) a very detailed biography of the life of the benedictine monk dom gabriel gerberon (1628-1711) of the congregation de saint-maur. A contemporary of mabillon and editor of the opera of saint anselme, he was involved in the "jansenist" controversies concerning divine grace, and in 1682 he was obliged to flee the abbey of corbie in picardy. During his exile from france until 1703, he was the companion of arnauld and quesnel. He was arrested on the orders of philip v of spain and was handed over to the police of louis xiv and imprisoned successively at malines, amiens and vincennes. He was freed in 1710, and died a year later at saint-denis near paris. 2) a complete inventory of his works, including those whose attribution is doubtful and those which have been incorrectly attributed to him. A list of the pseudonyms used by him is given in the appendix, together with several hitherto unpublished documents and letters. 3) a doctrinal and philosophical analysis of the signature of the formulaire and the theology and ecclesiology of its author, as well as an analysis of the concept of "jansenism" itself.
