Antoine Dadin, (1602 - 1682) was a distinguished French historian and canonist, dean of the faculty of law at the University of Toulouse. The church awarded him a pension as a reward for his defense of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. His confutation of Charles Fevret's "De Abusu" in which he defended the Church, wasn't published until the 1770s. These are the first two volumes of his Complete Works in eleven volumes. 005673
