Edmond Reusens

Edmond Henri Joseph Reusens (25 April 1831 in Wijnegem, Antwerp – 25 December 1903 in Leuven) was a Belgian archeologist and historian. Sent to the University of Leuven immediately after his ordination to the priesthood (1854), he soon became head librarian of the university (1859–1896). He collaborated with his rector, Pierre François Xavier de Ram, in his works on the religious history of Belgium, and in 1864 they founded the review Analectes pour servir à l'histoire ecclésiastique de la Belgique which Reusens continued to direct until his death. With the same teacher, he became interested in the history of the University of Leuven, to which he devoted almost exclusively the last years of his life.
