DELISLE, LÉOPOLD-VICTOR. - Historian, b. at Valognes, 24 Oct. 1826, d. at Chantilly, 22 July 1910. Having entered the École des Chartes in 1847, in 1852 he was entrusted at the National Library of Paris with the custody of the Cabinet of Manuscripts, which he illustrated in a work in 3 vols., published in Paris from 1868 to 1881 (Cabinet des manuscrits de la Bibliothèque Impériale).
He is owed several catalogues and bibliographical bulletins, which earned him the title of prince of librarians.

Worthy of note are his other numerous works, chiefly on liturgy and palaeography. Particularly memorable are: Mémoire sur d'anciens sacramentaires (Paris 1886), very useful for liturgists, and Mémoire sur l'école calligraphique de Tours au IXe siècle (ibid. 1895).
