Jean de Launoy (Joannes Launoius) (1603–1678) was a French historian. Known as "le denicheur des saints", he was a critical historiographer. He was on the sceptical side over the supposed papal bull ''Sacratissimo uti culmine'' (see Sabbatine Privilege). In papal politics he was a Gallican, in theology a Jansenist. ==Life== Jean de Launoy was born in Valdesie, France, on December 21, 1601. Launoy studied philosophy and theology at the College of Navarre in Paris, where he later became a teacher and the historian.〔(Farge, James K., ''Biographical Register of Paris Doctors of Theology, 1500-1536'', PIMS, 1980, ISBN 9780888443595 )〕 Receiving a licenciate and doctorate in 1634, he was ordained a priest in 1636. As an historian he developed an extreme form of criticism, pointing out the false attributions of works and the unchecked assertions of the martyrologium. His 1641 ''La commentitio Lazari et Maximini, Magdalenae et Marthae in Provinciam appulsu'', described the Provencal legends of Mary Magdalen as pious nonsense.〔(Katherine Ludwig. ''The Making of the Magdalen: Preaching and Popular Devotion in the Later Middle Ages'', p.11, Princeton University Press, 2001, ISBN 9780691089874 )〕 He considered the ''vita'' concerning Catherine of Alexandria a myth.〔(France, Anatole. ''The Life of Joan of Arc'', Vol. 1, p.lv, J. Lane, 1909 )〕 In his books and letters he developed a strong and coherent form of Gallicanism, rejecting the infallibility of the Roman pontiff and professing the superiority of the general council. He died in Paris, on March 10, 1678. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean de Launoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
