About the author

This is the theologian. For the chemist, see Paul Sabatier.

Charles Paul Marie Sabatier was a French clergyman and historian, best known for writing the first modern biography of St. Francis of Assisi, La vie de St. François d’Assise (1893). Educated at the Protestant Faculty of Theology in Paris, he served briefly as vicar in Strasbourg before devoting himself to scholarship. His influential biography, later translated into English, revolutionized Franciscan studies though it was placed on the Catholic Church’s Index of Forbidden Books. Sabatier also published widely on church-state relations and modernist thought, delivering the Jowett Lectures in London in 1908. Nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, he became professor of Church history at the University of Strasbourg in 1919.
