Career

Mathis was in charge of the library of humanities and social science at the Paris Descartes University from 2008 to 2010. Since 2010, he has been a curator for 17th century collections at the Department of Prints and Photographs of the National Library of France. He is the editor of the French academic journal on printmaking Nouvelles de l'estampe.[citation needed] He is a member of the National Committee for French Engraving (French: Comité national de l'estampe).[citation needed]
Mathis's research focuses on the 17th century, specifically history of prints and books, Jansenism and diplomatic history. His dissertation, written under the supervision of Lucien Bély and Olivier Poncet, focuses on Simon Arnauld de Pomponne.[2] In 2012, he wrote a book about Pomponne and Robert Arnauld d'Andilly.[3] He has contributed to Papers on French Seventeenth Century Literature.[4] and curated an exhibition on French prints of the 17th c. (Getty-BnF, 2015–2016).
Mathis is active in promoting the legalization of freedom of panorama in France.[5] He also advocates against the privatization of the digitization of public-domain works.[6] His work in the culture sector and free culture movement has earned him the nickname "Janus de la transmission," by Le Magazine littéraire.[7]
