EDITORS COMMENTS
Claude Pierre Goujet: A Scholar and Churchman of the Enlightenment Era This evocative portrait captures the intellectual and spiritual depth of Claude Pierre Goujet (1697-1767), a prominent French churchman and scholar of the Enlightenment period. Born in Dijon, Goujet dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the service of the Catholic Church. Goujet's scholarly pursuits ranged from theology and philosophy to history and literature. He is best known for his work on the history of the Church, particularly his 12-volume history of the Council of Trent, which was published between 1737 and 1742. This groundbreaking work provided a comprehensive and unbiased account of the council, which was a significant achievement during a time of religious and political turmoil in Europe. Despite his scholarly accomplishments, Goujet remained deeply committed to the Church and its mission. He served as the abbot of the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris and was a member of the French Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres. Goujet's legacy extends beyond his written works. He was a mentor to many young scholars and played a crucial role in the development of the French Benedictine order. His influence can be seen in the numerous scholars and theologians who followed in his footsteps, continuing the tradition of intellectual and spiritual inquiry that characterized the Enlightenment era. This portrait captures the essence of Goujet's character: a man of deep faith and boundless curiosity, whose contributions to the Church and to the world of scholarship continue to resonate today.
