Cabrol was born in Marseille. He studied at the College of Marseilles, and entered the Benedictine order in 1878. He was ordained in 1882. He was a professor of ecclesiastical history at Solesmes Abbey, where he became prior in 1890. From 1890 to 1895 he was a professor of archaeology and ecclesiastical history at the University of Angers.[2]
He became prior of St Michael's Abbey in Farnborough, Hampshire in 1896, and abbot in 1903, remaining in the post until his death in 1937. A highly respected spiritual guide and scholar in his lifetime, he is now best known perhaps for being a co-founder of the Dictionnaire d'archéologie chrétienne et de liturgie, together with Henri Leclercq. Cabrol was president of the French section of the Eucharistic Congress of Westminster in 1908; an honorary member of the Academy of Mâcon, France, and honorary professor of the University of Angers. He contributed a number of articles to the Catholic Encyclopedia.[2]
Cabrol was the founding editor and the majority of the volumes were edited by himself and Henri Leclercq and they also contributed articles to the encyclopaedia (Vol. 14, pt 2 & 15 were edited by H. I. Marrou). By 1953 the work was complete in 15 volumes, each of two parts.[3]
