Jugie was initially educated within the
Assumptionist minor seminaries of Le Breuil in
Deux-Sèvres between 1891 and 1893 and Clairmarais at
Pas-de-Calais between 1893 and 1895, before entering the Assumptionist novitiate at
Livry-Gargan on 10 August 1895, taking the
religious name, Martin, before making his first vows precisely a year later. In September 1902, Jugie was sent to Kadiköy, where he first provided instruction in
Greek between 1902 and 1903, before teaching
Dogmatic Theology and
Canon Law therein between 1903 and 1904. Following a brief tenure as a director of Kadiköy's Greek alumnate between 1904 and 1905, Jugie returned to providing teaching in Dogmatic Theology through to 1914. Contextually, Kadiköy had quickly established itself as an important centre of scholarship, as exemplified by the fact that, in 1897, the institute founded one of the foremost journals in
Oriental studies under the editorship of the future
Latin Archbishop of Athens, Louis Petit, the
Echos d’Orient, for which Jugie produced numerous articles for throughout his literary career. and his five-volume historical exposition of
Eastern Christian theology, the
Theologia dogmatica christianorum orientalium. Moreover, alongside Louis Petit and Xenophon A. Sideridès, Jugie produced an eight-volume critical edition of the opera omnia of the fifteenth-century Eastern Orthodox theologian and the first
Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople under Ottoman rule,
George-Gennadios Scholarios. Jugie also provided instruction at the
Pontifical Lateran University and the
Institut catholique in Lyons, with his students in the latter including the Assumptionist
Patristics scholar,
Antoine Wenger. Having begun to suffer from
Parkinson's disease in 1953, Martin retired from teaching. He died on 29 November 1954 in
Lorgues and was buried the next day. ==References==
