	abstract = {<p>After his initial historical research, L{\'e}opold Delisle continued to harbour a keen interest in the scholarly work of the Benedictine Congregation of Saint-Maur, and a particular curiosity for written documentation compiled before the French Revolution at the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Pr{\'e}s and preserved in what was to become the future Biblioth{\`e}que nationale. His appointment to the Manuscripts Department, and the task he was given of maintaining the inventory of the vast wealth of Latin manuscripts preserved therein, afforded him a great opportunity to acquaint himself with the hundreds of bundles of papers and packets at that time comprising the R{\'e}sidu SaintGermain, a sprawling collection of correspondence, notes and working documents produced by the congregation monks throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. As the huge wealth of material came under his scrutiny and analysis, L{\'e}opold Delisle discovered and published a number of new documents, and thus contributed to writing a new chapter in the history of modern scholarship. More particularly, he pioneered the use of these learned records as a window onto medieval history to, for example, determine the provenance of the manuscripts preserved at the Biblioth{\`e}que and for the history and reconstruction of medieval libraries in general.</p>
