The following is a work in progress. It may become the base of a Wikipedia article in the future.

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]
