Charles-Hyacinthe Hugo

Auguste Digot says with reference to the History of Lorraine that it surpasses that of Antoine Augustin Calmet, Abbot of Senones, whose style is heavy and diffuse.

In 1699 Hugo published a Refutation of the system of the trithiest Faydit on the Blessed Trinity; it was a solid work, according to Jean-Noël Paquot.

He is also the author of some books on the Order of Canons Regular, one of which is favourably referred to by Benedict XIV; likewise of several dissertations on seals, coins or medals, on persons and historical matters appertaining to the ducal house of Lorraine.

Hugo's Vie de St. Norbert, fondateur des Prémontrés (Luxembourg, 1704) is remarkable for the elegance of its style and the important documents it contains.

They are fully described by Jean Michel Alfred Vacant [hr], professor at the seminary, in La Bibliothèque du Grand Séminaire de Nancy (1897).
