Germain Morin

Germain Morin (1861–1946) was a Franco-Belgian Benedictine historical scholar, patrologist, and liturgiologist, of the Beuronese Congregation.

After a disastrous year as prefect of the college at Maredsous he devoted himself primarily to scholarly research, ranging widely across European libraries and archives.

He spent the years 1914-18 in Switzerland; his support of Germany in World War I brought him lasting unpopularity in Belgium.

[1] During his research in various European libraries, which he undertook from 1887, M. found unedited sermons and texts by Caesarius of Arles, Jerome and Augustine, among others.

[1] Morin wrote numerous scientific articles in patristics, liturgy, hagiography, archaeology, church and order history.
