AUDIN, JEAN-MARIE-VINCENT. - French man of letters and publisher, b. in Lyon in 1793 and d. in 1851. Among his writings, almost all of a historico-literary character, such as: Michel Morin et la Ligue (1817), Essai sur le romantique (1823), Le Concordat entre Léon X et François I (1821), etc., particular mention should be made of the Histoire de la saint Barthélemy (1812), which aroused lively controversy in ecclesiastical circles, because it was judged too favorable to the Protestant thesis, so much so that the A. believed it necessary to publicly reaffirm his attachment to the doctrines of the Catholic Church. But his principal work, which brought him notoriety, is the one concerning the Protestant Reformation, published in four distinct parts: 1) Histoire de la vie, des ouvrages et des doctrines de Luther (1839); 2) Histoire de la vie, des ouvrages et des doctrines de Calvin (1841); 3) Histoire de Léon X et de son siècle (1844); 4) Histoire de Henri VIII et du schisme d'Angleterre (1847). This work has by now been superseded by more recent Catholic historiography.
