ANTONY, a very famous Cordelier, and one of the ablest critics of his time, was born at Rogne in Provence in 1624. He took the habit in the convent at Arles in 1641, and was at length four times provincial of his order; but his religious duties did not prevent his vigorous application to the study of chronology and ecclesiastical history, in which he excelled. His most considerable work is, A Critique upon the Annals of Baronius; where, following the learned cardinal year by year, he has rectified an infinite number of mistakes both in chronology and in the representation of facts. He published the first volume in 1689, dedicated to the clergy of France, who allowed him a pension: the whole was printed after his death, in 4 vols folio, at Geneva, in 1705, by the care of his nephew Francis Pagi, of the same order. He wrote some other things before his death, which happened in 1699; and had the character of an able historian as well as of a learned and candid critic. His nephew Francis, above mentioned, wrote a Chronological Abridgement of the History of the Popes, in Latin, 3 vols 4to. Francis had also a nephew, Anthony Pagi, who added three more volumes to the History of the Popes; of which two more were intended, if not executed.
