Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOURIGNON, ANTOINETTE (1616-168o) , Flemish mystic,
was born at
Lille
  on the 13th of January 1616. From an early age she was under the influence of religion, which took in course of time a mystical turn. Undertaking the
work
  of a reformer, she visited France, Holland, England and
Scotland
 . Her religious enthusiasm, peculiarity of views and disregard of all sects raised both zealous persecutors and warm adherents. On her death at Franeker, Friesland, on the 3oth of October 168o, she left a large number of followers, who, however, dwindled rapidly away; but in the early 18th century her influence revived in
Scotland
  sufficiently to
call
  forth several denunciations of her doctrines in the various Presbyterian general assemblies of 1701, 1709 and 1710. So far as appears from her writings and con-temporary records, she wa ,, a visionary of the
ordinary
  type, distinguished only by the audacity and persistency of her
pretensions.
Her writings, containing an account of her life and of her visions and opinions, were collected by her disciple, Pierre Poiret (19 vols.,
Amsterdam
 , 1679-1686), who also published her life (2 vols., 1679). For a
critical
  account see Hauck, Realencyklopadie (
Leipzig
 , 1897), and Etude sur Antoinette
Bourignon
 , by M. E. S. (Paris, 1876). Three of her works at least have been translated into English:An Abridgment of the Light of the World (London, 1786) ; A Treatise of Solid Virtue (1699) ; The Restoration of the Gospel Spirit
(1707).
