Marcel Richard

Marcel Richard (1907–1976) was a French Catholic priest and a Greek paleographer. He was the founder of the Greek section of the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes in Paris.^[1] He was primarily interested in establishing the text of patristic Greek authors. To this effect he conducted several missions to the Libraries of Mount Athos.

Richard contributed the opening volume (with posthumous appendix by Michel Aubineau) of the Corpus Christianorum Series Graeca in 1977. A later volume in the series was completed after Richard's death by Joseph Munitiz.
