Leather bound Hand bound Grancolas Jean Doctor of the Sorbonne theologian liturgist; b. near Chateaudun about 1660; d. at Paris August 1 1732. Having received the degree of Doctor of Theology of the faculty of Paris in 1685 he became chaplain to the brother of Louis XIV. He pronounced the funeral oration of this prince but his panegyric displeased the son of the deceased the Duke of Orleans future Regent of France who dismissed him from his house. His unfortunate essay caused Grancolas to abandon official eloquence and having devoted much time to studying liturgical ceremonies and comparing the various usages with the text of the ancient writers who have given an account of them he undertook to communicate to the public his observations on this head. His first work dealt with the antiquity of the ceremonies of the sacraments. The favorable reception accorded this endeavor led Grancolas to publish the next year a study of the custom of dipping the consecrated bread in the wine. However the author was desirous of participating in less severe questions and wished to engage in theological polemics. At that time the matter of Quietism was creating a great stir in the world and Grancolas conceived the idea of plunging into the quarrel by a refutation of the heresy which he entitled Le Quietisme contraire au doctrine des sacraments Quietism contrary to the doctrine of the Sacraments and which appeared in 1693. - Catholic Encyclopedia Imbert de Bats hardcover books
