MASCARON, JULES (1634-1703)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 836 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MASCARON, JULES (1634-1703) , French preacher, was the son of a
barrister
  at Aix. Born at Marseilles in 1634, he early entered the French Oratory, and obtained
great
  reputation as a preacher. Paris confirmed the judgment of the provinces; in 1666 he was asked to preach before the court, and became a
great
  favourite with Louis XIV., who said that his eloquence was one of the few things that never grew old. In 1671 he was appointed
bishop
  of Tulle; eight years later he was transferred to the larger diocese of
Agen
 . He still continued, however, to preach regularly at court, being especially in request for funeral orations. A panegyric on
Turenne
 , delivered in 1675, is considered his masterpiece. His style is strongly tinged with preciosite; and his
chief
  surviving
interest
  is as a glaring example of the evils from which Bossuet delivered the French pulpit. During his later years he devoted himself entirely to his
pastoral
  duties at
Agen
 , where he died in 1703.
Six of his most famous sermons were edited, with a biographical sketch of their author, by the Oratorian
Horde
  in 1704.
