He was the son of the French historian André Félibien[3] and in 1683[1] became a Benedictine monk in the Congregation of Saint Maur (known for their high level of scholarship) at the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris. He is also known for his history of the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis, published in 1706.[4] This book contains five engraved prints depicting objects from the treasury of the abbey, now mostly missing.[3]
