Augustin Calmet was a French Benedictine monk born in Ménil-la-Horgne, then in the Duchy of Bar, part of the Holy Roman Empire (now the French department of Meuse, located in the Lorraine region).Calmet was a monk as well as a scholar and one of the most distinguished members of the Congregation of St. Vanne. In recognition of these qualities, he was elected prior of Lay-Saint-Christophe in 1715, abbot of St-Léopold in Nancy in 1718 and of the abbey of Senones in 1729. He was twice entrusted with the office of abbot general of the congregation. Pope Benedict XIII wanted to confer on him the episcopal dignity, but his humility could not be brought to accept the honor. Calmet died in the abbey of Senones, in the Vosges, near Saint-Dié.
