MAIMBOURG, See also:LOUIS (1610—1686) , See also:French Jesuit and historian, was See also:born at See also:Nancy. He entered the Society of Jesus at the See also:age of sixteen, and after studying at See also:Rome became a classical See also:master in the Jesuit See also:college at See also:Rouen. He afterwards devoted himself to See also:preaching, but with only moderate success. After having taken some See also:part in See also:minor controversies he threw himself with See also:energy into the dispute which had arisen as to the Gallican liberties; for his TraitE historique sur See also:les prerogatives de l'Eglise de Rome (1682) he was by command of See also:Innocent XI. expelled from the Society, but rewarded by Louis XIV. with a See also:residence at the See also:abbey of St See also:Victor, See also:Paris, and a See also:pension. He died on the 13th of See also:August 1686. His numerous See also:works include histories of Arianism, the iconoclastic controversy, the See also:Greek See also:schism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, and of the pontificates of See also:Leo I. and See also:Gregory I.; they are See also:mere compilations, written indeed in a very lively and attractive See also:style, but inaccurate and untrustworthy. The See also:History of Arianism was published in See also:English (1728—1729) by See also:William See also:Webster, with an appendix on the English writers in the Socinian and Arian controversies.
