Church Notes: The church of St-Pierre de Montmartre is probably one of the oldest churches in Paris; it goes back to the Benedictine abbey founded there in the 12th century, but some of its materials may have come from a 7th century church and even earlier from a Roman temple; during the Revolution it became the "Temple de la raison". It has been rebuilt and/or remodeled several times.

Listed by Enlart (1902) as a Renaissance pedestal font. Corblet suggests that a baptistery [cf. entry for Paris No. 7 in this Index] may have existed in the crypt of this church. (Corblet, 1881-1882, v. 2, p. 70). The Dictionnaires des églises... (1966- ) dates it to the 16th century. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM75002523]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] Pierre [...] 1537 [...] H = 80 ; la = 123 ; pr = 80 [...] Armoiries, date : écusson portant deux clés en sautoir, accosté de rinceaux, et par derrière, le millesime 1537." The entry for this church in Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Pierre_de_Montmartre#cite_ref-16] [accessed 19 March 2025] notes: "The Chapel of Baptisms features an oval baptismal font, dating from 1537, and made in the form of the traditional cradle of Moses. The decoration on the font is in the Renaissance style" and gives "Dumoulin, Ardisson, Maingard and Antonello, Églises de Paris (2010), p. 183" as source. Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP75W00893, APMH056711, AP80L085466].
