Lentorama 2007: The Non-Canonized Catholic Person of the Day

Today brings us Antoine Augustin Calmet, a French theologian born on this day in 1672. He's best known for a 23 volume commentary on the Bible which was quite popular, though criticized for not fully addressing the more difficult passages. Which would make him the perfect college undergrad.

Not much more to say about Antoine, other than to note that his Wikipedia entry is pretty much his Catholic Encyclopedia entry. Even with attribution, it's plagarific.
