He then became Professor of Old Testament at the Theological Faculty and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fribourg.[1] · [2] From 1953 he was interested in small fragments of the minor prophets, and published in 1963 Les Devanciers d'Aquila ("The Predecessors of Aquila"), in which he brings revolutionary assumptions about revisions and Greek translations of the Old Testament.[2] · [3] · .[4] During the years 1969-1980, he served on the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project committee, "research[ing] the pertinent history of exegesis of each [Hebrew Bible text critical] problem up to the modern critical period."[5]

He is also known for his introductory book to reading the Bible, Dieu et son image ("God and his image").[1]
