David BlondelDavid Blondel (1591 - April 6, 1655) was a French Protestant clergyman. He was born at Chlons-en-Champagne. In 1650 he succeeded GJ Vossius in the professorship of history at Amsterdam. His works were very numerous; in some of them he showed a remarkable critical faculty, as in his dissertation on Pope Joan (1647), in which he came to the conclusion, now generally accepted, that the story is a myth. Considerable Protestant indignation was excited against him on account of this book. In 1628 he has established beyond doubt in his book "Pseud-Isidorus et Turrianus vapulantes" that the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals were a forgery. Reference Blondel, David Blondel, David
