'''Pierre Batiffol''' (born [[27 January]] [[1861]] in [[Toulouse]] in [[France]], died [[13 January]] [[1929]] in [[Paris]]) was a prominent Frech catholic priest and Church historian, known particularly as a historian of dogma.

Batiffol studied from [[1878]] at the priest seminary ''[[Église Saint-Sulpice, Paris|Saint-Sulpice]]'' in Paris, was consecrated in [[1884]] and continued his studies at the ''Institut catholique'' in Paris and at the ''Ecole des Hautes Etudes''. He was learned by church historian [[Louis Marie Olivier Duchesne]].

Under Giovanni Battista de Rossi in Rome, he studied from 1887 to 1889 the archaeology, research and liturgic antique Christian literature. From 1889 to 1898 and from 1907 until 1929, he lectured at ''Ecole Sainte-Barbe in Paris''. Together with his friend [[Marie-Joseph Lagrange|Albert Marie Henri Lagrange]], Batiffol founded in 1892 the magazine "[[Revue Biblique]]" for the historical-critical method of exegesis of the [[Old Testament| Old]] and [[New Testament]]. In 1899 he founded the "Bulletin de littérature ecclésiastique".

In 1898 he received the leadership ''of the Institut catholique de Toulouse'', he paid attention for historical-critical theology. He used strict critical methods in church dogma and history as well as in manuscripts of the Holy Scripture. Because of its study on eucharist (1905), which was inserted on ''[[Index librorum prohibitorum ]]'', and his criticism of a number of legends, he lost his Chair after Encyklica of [[Pope Pius X]] ''[[Pascendi Dominici Gregis]]'' ([[8 September]] [[1907]]). He was claimed a "modernist".<ref>[http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm ''Pascendi Dominici gregis'']</ref>

Batiffol examined [[Codex Beratinus]], [[Minuscule 1143|Beratinus II]], [[Codex Curiensis]], and several other manuscripts. He rediscovered and described [[Codex Vaticanus 2061]] in 1887.
