Jacques Boileau

Jacques Boileau (March 16, 1635 - August 1, 1716) was a French clergyman who became a canon of the Sainte-Chapelle, and made contributions to church history.[1] He was the brother of Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux and Gilles Boileau.

He was described by Gustave Masson as the "author of many very curious writings on Church discipline".[2]

Biography

[edit]

Jacques Boileau was born in Paris, France. He was baptized in the Sainte-Chapelle on March 18, 1635.[3]

He studied at Collège d'Harcourt. On May 22, 1662, he became a Doctor of theology[1] at the Sorbonne. He became Dean, Grand Vicar, and Official of the Diocese of Sens. In 1694 he was promoted to the canonry of the Sainte-Chapelle.[4]

Works

[edit]

Jacques Boileau wrote in French and Latin.

He published some of his works anonymously or under several pen names, including Marcellus Ancyranus, Claudius Fonteius and Jacques Barnabé.[4]

His works include:[1]

  • Ad Decretalem super specula de Magistris (1667) [1]
  • De l'abus des nudités de gorge, Bruxelles, (1675) [2]
  • Historia confessionis auricularis (1683) [3]
  • Historia Flagellantium: de recto et perverso usu flagrorum apud Christianos (Paris, 1700)

  • Considérations sur le "Traité historique de l'établissement et des prérogatives de l'église de Rome et de ses évêques", by Mr. Louis Maimbourg,... 1685 [5]
  • De corpore et sanguine Domini by Ratramnus. Boileau's edition of the text in Paris, 1712, was described by the ecclesiastical historian Philip Schaff as "the best edition of the original text".[5] [6]
