About 1684 Dupin conceived the idea of his Nouvelle bibliothèque des auteurs ecclésiastiques (the French edition of the work offered) , the first volume of which appeared in 1686. In it he treated simultaneously biography, literary criticism, and the history of dogma in this he was a pioneer leaving far behind him all previous efforts, Catholic or Protestant, which were still under the influence of the Scholastic method. He was also the first to publish such a collection in a modern language. - Graesse II, 448.
