<p> a French ecclesiastic, was born at Avignon, Jan. 29, 1679. [[Entering]] into orders, he distinguished himself by his zeal in behalf of the poor, particularly during the plague at [[Marseilles]] in 1721. [[Pope]] [[Clement]] III appointed him apostolic vicar, with the title of bishop of Halicarnassus, to settle the disputes among the missionaries of China. His labors were unsuccessful, and he died at Cochin, April 2, 1741. The abbe Fabre, his secretary, published an account of his mission, and a funeral sermon by a Chinese priest (1746, 4to).
