AFFRE, DENIS AUGUSTE (1793-1848)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 302 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AFFRE, DENIS AUGUSTE (1793-1848) , archbishop of Paris, was born at St Rome, in the department of
Tarn
 , on the 27th of September 1793. He was educated for the priesthood at St Sulpice, where in 1818 he became professor of dogmatic theology. After filling a number of ecclesiastical offices, he was elevated to the archbishopric of Paris in 1840. Though opposed to the government of Louis Philippe, he took no part in politics, but devoted himself to his
pastoral
 
work
 . His episcopate, however, is chiefly remembered owing to its tragic close. During the insurrection of June 1848 the archbishop was led to believe that by his personal interference peace might be restored between the soldiery and the insurgents. Accordingly, in spite of the warning of General Cavaignac, he mounted the
barricade
  at the entrance to the Faubourg St
Antoine
 , bearing a green branch as sign of peace. He had spoken only a few words, however, when the insurgents, hearing some shots, and fancying they
were betrayed, opened fire upon the national guard, and the archbishop fell, struck by a stray bullet. He was removed to his palace, where he died on the 27th of June 1848. Next day the National Assembly issued a decree expressing their
great
  sorrow on account of his death; and the public funeral on the 7th of July was one of the most striking spectacles of its kind. The archbishop wrote several
treatises
  of considerable value, including an Essai sur les hieroglyphes egyptiens (Paris, 1834), in which he showed that Champollion's
system
  was insufficient to explain the hieroglyphics.
