or a learned French Benedictine of the Congregation of St.Vanne and St. Hidulphus, was born at Bar-le-Duc, Dec. 27, 1653. He was distinguished for his eloquence, being the first who preached in the Cathedral of Strasburg after its cession to France. In 1703 he was made abbot of Moven-Moutier, and during his long superintendence of its affairs he rebuilt its structures, and collected the valuable library which was formerly there.
