ALEXANDER VIII

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 556 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALEXANDER VIII . (Pietro Ottoboni),
pope
  from 1689 to 1691, was born in 1610 of a noble Venetian family, was created
cardinal
 , and then successively
bishop
  of Brescia and datary. The
ambassador
  of Louis XIV. succeeded in procuring his election on the 6th of October 1689 as successor to Innocent XI.; nevertheless, after months of negotiation Alexander finally condemned the declaration made in 1682 by the French clergy concerning the liberties of the Gallican
church
 . Charities on a large scale and unbounded nepotism exhausted the papal treasury. He bought the books and manuscripts of Queen Christina of
Sweden
  for the Vatican library. Alexander condemned in 1690 the doctrines of so-called philosophic sin, taught in the Jesuit schools. He died on the 1st of
February
  1691. (W. W. R.*)
