He was the author of numerous papers on ecclesiastical history of the 4th-5th centuries in which, alongside acute critical investigation, there is no lack of school prejudices that often weaken his conclusions. He made his debut with the study Le Concile de Turin; essai sur l'histoire des Eglises provençales au Vᵉ siècle (Paris 1904); he continued with La plus ancienne décrétale (ibid. 1904), which according to him would be the collection Canones Romanorum ad Gallos episcopos and which he attributes to Pope Damasus; Priscillien et le Priscillianisme (ibid. 1909). Even more debated was the biography S. Martin de Tours (ibid. 1912); cf. Anal. Boll., 32 (1913), pp. 439-72 and then Anal. Boll., 38 (1920), pp. 5-136, where Fr. H. Delehaye makes a thorough critique of the criteria that guided Babut in his work. Last is the Etude Biblique sur la Rédemption (Nîmes 1914).
