MORIN, the time of Gregory VII. published at Rome, 1591; and on a Collection of General Councils, likewise published at Rome, 1608, 4 vols. This learned critic died at Rome, 1608, aged 77. His character was open, simple, sincere, gentle, and honest: his temper was equal and agreeable. He was an enemy to artifice and cunning; he despised riches and honours; and he seemed to have a passion for nothing but study.—He spoke Italian with as much ease and propriety as the most intelligent native. He left behind him Un Traité du bon usage des Sciences, and some other writings, published by Father Quetif, a Dominican friar, in 1675. His works display great research and excellent principles; and the author appears to have been well acquainted with the belles lettres and the languages. His edition of the Septuagint, printed at Rome, 1687, in folio, is now very scarce.
