He was syndic of the clergy of the diocese of Fréjus, and appeared in that character in the assemblies of the French clergy at Paris, He exerted himself A. D. 1605 and 1606. with the greatest diligence, at considerable pecuniary cost, and sometimes at the risk of his life, in seeking out and recovering the documents belonging to the archives of the cathedral of Fréjus. He recovered a great number of valuable records, and arranged The antiquarian them in two volumes. knowledge and zeal which he manifested recommended him to the friendship of the antiquary Peiresc, with whom he carried on an active correspondence on différent questions connected with their common pursuit. He furnished the list of the bishops of Fréjus to the authors of the "Gallia Christiana,' who have passed a high encomium on the talent and skill of Antelmi. Nicolas Antelmi died 2d March, A. D. 1646. Joseph Antelmi in his treatise "De Initiis Ecclesiæ Forojuliensis" refers to the " Adversaria" of Nicolas Antelmi; but it does not appear that this work was ever published.

suit; but from the year 1630, whether from
regard to Peiresc, his own and his uncle's
friend, he gradually transmitted to him, with
his uncle's consent, the contents of his mu-
seum. After the death of Peiresc, A. D. 1637,
Pierre abandoned antiquarian pursuits, and
gave himself to the study of theology and of
ecclesiastical history. He revised the lessons
of the church of Fréjus which were read in
the service performed to St. Leontius, the
patron, and the other tutelary saints of the
church, rejecting several fabulous particulars
respecting St. Leontius, and employing in the
revision of the service more trustworthy do-
cuments than those which had been adopted
to have filled some public offices besides his
for its compilation. Pierre Antelmi appears
