Bonaventure Root
See also: Root
The abbot Bonaventure Racine (1708-1755) born in Chauny and died in Paris was a French ecclesiastic and historian.
Relative of the playwright Jean Root and its son Louis Root, it was principal college of Rabastens, but it was seen forced to leave its functions because of its attachment to the doctrines of the Jansénisme. Persecution also drove out it college of Lunel, then of that of Harcourt (1734). He lived in the retirement, when the bishop of Auxerre, Caylus, collected it and a canonicat gave him and conferred to him the orders crowned in its cathedral.
There is of him a Abrégé ecclesiastical history (1748-56) in 13 volumes (in-4 or in-12), to which one joint the Lettres in Morenas (1 vol.) and a Suite which one allots to the abbot Troia d' Assigny (1762, 3 vol.) and Réflexions on the ecclesiastical history (2 vol. in-12), shortened its great history.
