Daniel, Père Gabriel

    0.06 sec.

Daniel, Père Gabriel (1649–1728)

French writer and Jesuit theologian. His Histoire de France (1713) was harshly criticized by the philosopher Voltaire; his Entretiens de Cléandre et d'Eudoxe (1694) was an attempt to refute Blaise Pascal's views expressed in the book Lettres provinciales.

Louis XIV gave Daniel a pension and the title of historiographer of France.
