(Rene, or Renatus), a very learned Benedictine of the congregation of St Maur, was born at S. Owen de Macelles, in 1665. He is chiefly known for the new edition of St Irenaeus, which he published in 1710. He consulted several manuscripts, which had never been examined, for that purpose, and made new notes and learned prefaces. He died in 1716, after having written and published several other works.
