More DescriptionJean Henri Merle d'Aubigné, Genevan historian of Christianity, offered Protestants in post-French revolutionary Europe historical reflections on the origins of their religious and political organizations. Best known for his 13-volume history of the Reformation, Merle d'Aubigné's popularity was without rival in the middle third of the 19th century.
