Count Paul Edouard Didier, comte de Riant (1836-1888) devoted his life to the study of the Latin East, the Crusades, and the traces left by the Crusaders in Constantinople and Palestine. The foremost European scholar in his field, Count Riant was elected a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1880 for his services to historical study and as the founding director of the Société de l’Orient Latin. For reasons of health, Riant worked mainly at his substantial private library in Vorpillière, Valais, and the library was sold after his death. The Scandinavian section was acquired by Yale University. In 1899 Harvard College Librarian, William Coolidge Lane, negotiated the purchase of the remaining portion of Riant’s library for Harvard, funded by gifts from Joseph Randolph Coolidge (1828-1925), LL. B. 1854, and his son, the legendary Archibald Cary Coolidge (1866-1928), Class of 1887, and later first Director of the Harvard University Library from 1910 to 1928.
