Antoine Rivet of the Barn

Dom Antoine Rivet of the Barn (1683-1749) was a Bénédictin French Jansenist.

Born with Confolens, he was opposed to the Bulle Unigenitus. He completed the Nécrologe de Port-Royal of the Fields (1723), and was, because of his attachment to the Jansénisme, relegated by his superiors in the monastery of Saint-Vincent of Mans, where he spent his thirty last years.

Dom Rivet left a literary Histoire of France , whose it carried out the first 9 volumes, 1733-49, which was continued by Clément, and later, by the Académie of the inscriptions.
