AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Simon-Michel Treuvé: The spiritual director, gives to those who have none. In Brussels, at Eugene Henry Frick's, printer to His Majesty, rue de la Madelaine. 1691. 12mo: (20)372 pages. Original leather with ribs and a gilt-stamped title shield. Corners slightly rounded/worn. Binding and paper in good condition. Some small spots here and there. Front endpaper with some old notes and a handwritten name on the title page. Rear endpaper missing.
Simon-Michel Treuvé, born in Noyers on August 8, 1651, and died in Paris on February 22, 1730, was a French Catholic theologian.
As the son of a bailiff, he showed a great aptitude for study from a very young age. After completing his rhetoric studies, around the age of sixteen or seventeen, he joined the Congregation for Christian Doctrine in 1668, intending to settle there permanently, and he taught humanities at the congregation's college in Vitry-le-François. However, he left the congregation in 1673. Some time later, he was appointed abbot of Haute-Fontaine in the diocese of Châlons-sur-Marne by the king.
In the Abbey of Haute-Fontaine, he wrote his first work, *Instruction on the Preparations for the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist*, dedicated to Madame de Longueville. The author was not yet 24 years old. After entering the priesthood, he spent some time in Époisses with the Count of Guitaut, then in Paris as chaplain to Madame de Lesdiguières, before becoming vicar of Saint-André-des-Arts. Subsequently, he published *The Spiritual Guide for Those Who Have None*. This book was a tremendous success, with more than a hundred editions, including translations into English, German, and Dutch.
Bossuet, then bishop of Meaux, noticed him, called him to his side, granted him a canonry in his church, and chose him to work on the breviary of Meaux. He remained there for twenty-two years and only returned to Paris in poor health, where he died on February 22, 1730. He is buried in the cemetery of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs.
Although he worked for Bossuet, he became an ardent supporter of Port-Royal and was one of the fiercest opponents of the Unigenitus decree.
