Jérôme Besoigne
(Redirected from Besoigne, Jérôme)
Jérôme Besoigne (1686 in Paris – 1763) was a prominent Jansenist apologist and oppositionist to the Bull "Unigenitus."
Biography
[edit]Besoigne was ordained in 1715 and received a doctorate at the Sorbonne in 1718. He served as assistant principal of the College of Plessis until his defence of Jansenism and his opposition to the Bull "Unigenitus" obliged him to resign the post. In 1729, the Sorbonne erased him from the list of Doctors and, in 1731, he was exiled from Paris. During the following year he was allowed to return.
