Pierre Sabatier (Maurist)

Pierre Sabatier (1682–1742), or Petrus was a French Maurist scholar.

Sabatier joined the Benedictine Order in 1700, at Reims. At the Abbey of St-Germain-des-Prés he studied under Thierry Ruinart. He was moved to Reims in 1727, under suspicion of Jansenist sympathies.

Biblical scholar Sabatier concentrated on the Vetus Latina: the corpus of Latin biblical manuscripts predating the Vulgate of Jerome, the version begun in 382 CE. He edited Bibliorum sacrorum latinae versiones antiquae, published posthumousl from 1749.
