See also:PIERRE See also:HELYOT (1660-1716) , Franciscan See also:friar and historian, was See also:born at See also:Paris in See also:January 166o, of supposed See also:English ancestry . After spending his youth in study, he entered in his twenty-See also:fourth See also:year the See also:convent of the third. See also:order of St See also:Francis, founded at Picpus, near Paris, by his See also:uncle See also:Jerome See also:Helyot, See also:canon of St See also:Sepulchre . There he took the name of Pere Hippolyte . Two journeys to See also:Rome on monastic business afforded him the opportunity of travelling over most of See also:Italy; and after his final return he saw much of See also:France, while acting as secretary to various provincials of his order there . Both in Italy and France he was engaged in See also:collecting materials for his See also:great See also:work, which occupied him about twenty-five years, L'Histoire See also:des ordres monastiques, religieux, et militaires, et des congregations seculieres, de l'un et de l'autre sexc, qui opt See also:ate etablies jusqu'd See also:present, published in 8 volumes in 1714-1721 .
