Biography
Albert Vogt was born in Geneva. Ordained a priest in 1899, he studied Byzantine studies in Paris under Charles Diehl. In 1908, he received his doctorate in Letters from the University of Paris. From 1910 to 1921, he was an associate professor of first general and later modern history in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Fribourg. From 1919 to 1928, he was archpriest and parish priest of Our Lady in Geneva. He then returned to Byzantine studies, including editions of Byzantine texts, in particular an annotated Greek-French edition of the first book of De Ceremoniis of Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus, as well as works on Byzantine theatre and the topography of Constantinople.
From 1908, together with Alfred Baudrillart (1859–1942) and the Oratorian priest Urbain Rouziès (1872–1956), Vogt co-founded the Dictionnaire d'histoire et de géographie ecclésiastiques (first edition in 1909, first volume completed in 1912); in 1910 he founded the journal Analecta Gallicana, Revue d'Histoire de l'Église de France.
