Jean Chapeauville

Jean Chapeauville

Jean Chapeauville (b. at Liège, 5 January 1551; d. there 11 May 1617) was a Belgian theologian and historian.

Life

He made his philosophical studies at the University of Cologne and University of Louvain, and at the latter received the degree of Licentiate of Theology. He then entered the priesthood, and in 1578 was appointed one of the synodal examiners for the Diocese of Liège, and in 1579 parish priest of St. Michael's in the same city. He performed the functions of the latter office for about ten years.

Having been a canon of the collegiate church of St. Peter's in Liège since 1582, he was elevated in 1599 to the dignity of a provost of the same church. In 1587, Pope Sixtus V appointed him the first penitentiary canon of St. Lambert's Cathedral. On 12 June, 1600, he was promoted to the archdeaconship of Famenne.

Meanwhile, in 1582, he had been nominated Inquisitor of the Faith, and in 1598, Ernest of Bavaria, Bishop of Liège, appointed him vicar-general, in which office he was retained, despite his protests, by Bishop Ernest's successor, Ferdinand of Bavaria.

He taught theology with great success in several monasteries of Liège and published works on theological subjects. He endeavoured to enforce in the diocese the reforms decided upon by the Council of Trent, particularly the establishment of a clerical seminary and the concursus for the nomination of parish priests.

Works

He published a collection of the chief works on the history of the bishops of Liège, and wrote an account of the episcopate of Liège, commencing with Erard de la Marck (1506) and ending with the year 1613. His principal works are:

  • "Tractatus de necessitate et modo administrandi sacramenta tempore pestis" (Liège, 1586);
  • "Petit traite des vices et des vertus" (Liège, 1594);
  • "Abbrege de la somme des péchez M. J. Benedicti" (Liège, 1595);
  • "De casibus reservatis tractatus" (Liège, 1596);
  • "Catechismi Romani elucidatio scholastica" (Liège, 1600);
  • "Historia admirandarum curationum quae divinitus ope deprecationeque divi Perpetui Leodiensis episcopi contigerunt. Adjecta est vita B. Perpetui" (Liège, 1601; Fr. tr., 1601);
  • "Summa catechismi Romani" (Liège, 1605);
  • "Epistola ad catechistas de taedio quod catechistis obrepere solet" (Liège, 1605);
  • "Catechista, sive brevis tractatus de necessitate et modo administrandi doctrinam christianam" (Liège, 1608);
  • "Qui gesta pontificum tungrensium, trajectensium et leodiensium scripserunt auctores praecipui" (3 vols., Liège, 1612, 1613, 1616).
