Antoine Rivet de La Grange

Dom Antoine Rivet de La Grange (Confolens, 1683 - Le Mans, 1749) was a French benedictine monk and supporter of Jansenism.

He was opposed to the Unigenitus papal bull and, because he was Jansenist, his superiors sent him to the Abbey of St. Vincent in Le Mans, where he spent the last thirty years of his life.

Dom Rivet finished the Necrologe de Port-Royal des Champs (1723) and edited the first nine volumes of the Histoire litteraire de la France (1733–49), which was continued by Francois Clement and later by the French Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
