- Summary:
-
Théophile Beréngier, who was born around 1827, was a monk of Solesmes, the Benedictine monastery near Le Mans in north-western France. In 1879, Beréngier published his Histoire. This is the first modern translation of Beréngier's book and is an important contribution to our understanding of the history of the New Norcia mission and of the Catholic Church in Australia. Beréngier includes thoughts on the natural history of Western Australia, observations on New South Wales, Melbourne and Adelaide as well as the social customs and language of Aboriginal people in and around the New Norcia mission.
