In his 15th See also:year he joined the See also:Dominicans, and shortly after his ordination was appointed See also:professor of See also:philosophy at the See also:convent of See also:Saint-Jacques in See also:Paris. The success of his subsequent lectures at the See also:Sorbonne led to his selection by See also:Colbert as See also:tutor to his son, Jacques See also:Nicolas Colbert, afterwards See also:archbishop of Rouen. Alexandre obtained the degree of See also:doctor in divinity from the Sorbonne in 1675 and for twelve years taught philosophy, See also:theology and ecclesiastical See also:law to the members of the Saint-Jacques community. He played a prominent See also:part in ecclesiastical affairs and preached several times before See also:- LOUIS

time before owing to his strenuous See also:literary activity. His numerous See also:works are still much valued by ecclesiastical students.
His best-known See also:work, the Selecta historiae ecclesiasticae capita, et in loco ejusdem insignia dissertationes historicae, chronologicae, dogmaticae (26 vols., Paris, 1676-1686), was placed on the See also:Index by See also:Innocent XI., on account of his bold See also:defence of the Gallican claims. In 1689 he brought out at Paris his See also:history of the Old Testament: Selecta historiae Veteris Testamenti capita, &c., in 6 vols. Of the numerous See also:editions of Alexandre's ecclesiastical history the best is that of P. J. D. Mansi, which contains many valuable notes and additions (11 vols., See also:Lucca, 1749) and has been frequently reprinted. Alexandre's See also:principal contribution to theological literature is his Theologia dogmatica et moralis secundum ordinem catechismi concilii Tridentini (to vols., Paris, 1694), in which he clearly shows himself a See also:disciple of the Thomist school. His Conformite See also:des ceremonies chinoises avec l'idoldtrie grecque et romaine and See also:Sept lettres sur See also:les ceremonies de la Chine (both published at See also:Cologne in 1700) are interesting as they See also:mark him out as a See also:pioneer in the study of See also:comparative See also:religion.
