Swiss Catholic priest, Hebrew scholar and Biblical exegete; b. at Bure, 16 October, 1816; d. at Bressancourt, France, 22 April 1889. From 1845 to 1855 he was professor at the college of Porrentruy (Switzerland); later he became chaplain of the Religious of the Sacred Heart at Besancon, France, and devoted his leisure hours to the study of Sacred Scripture. He was subsequently appointed pastor of the church of Rebeuvelier, and finally of Bressancourt, where he died. He left many works on Sacred Scripture, some of which have a special value. Among these we note: “Les psaumes traduits littéralement sur le texte hébreu avec un commentaire” (Paris, 1858); “Le livre de Job vengé des interprétations fausses et impies de M.E. Renan” (Paris, 1860); “Le Cantique des cantiques vengé des interprétations fausses et impies de M.E. Renan” (Paris, 1861); “M. Renan guerroyant contre le surnaturel” (Paris, 1863); “M. E. Renan trahissant le Christ par un roman,” etc. (Paris, 1864). To the “Commentaries on the Bible”, published by Lethielleux, he contributed the Acts of the Apostles (1883), Exodus (1886), Leviticus (1886) Genesis (1889).<\/p>\n
