This work, edited by Arthur Le Moyne de La Borderie (1853),
uncovers the previously untold history of one of the great works of
Benedictine scholarship, Gui Alexis Lobineau's Histoire de
Bretagne, published in 1707. Consisting of letters exchanged among
Lobineau and his primary helpers in the project, the Correspondance
provides insight into one of eighteenth-century France's most
subtle historical minds and aims to show, in Le Moyne de La
Borderie's words, not simply the writer and scholar, but the man.
The Correspondance also sheds light upon the controversy that
nearly prevented the publication of the Histoire, pitting Lobineau
against the powerful Rohan dynasty. An appendix of rare and
unedited documents offers further political context for Lobineau's
legacy. This volume of letters, itself a fascinating work of
scholarship, remains a key witness to one of the defining
collaborative efforts of Breton historiography.
