PASCAL, JACQUELINE (1625-T661)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 881 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PASCAL, JACQUELINE (1625-T661) ,
sister
  of Bla,ise Pascal, was
born
  at Clermont-
Ferrand
 ,
France
 , on the 4th of
October
  1625. She was a genuine infant
prodigy
 , composing verses when only eight years, and a five-act comedy at eleven. In 1646 the
influence
  of her brother converted her to
Jansenism
 . In 1652, she took the veil, despite the strong opposition of her brother, and subsequently was largely instrumental in the latter's own final conversion. She vehemently opposed the
attempt
  to compel the assent of the nuns to the Papal bulls condemning
Jansenism
 , but was at last compelled to yield her own. This
blow
 , however, hastened her death, which occurred at Paris on the 4th of
October
  1661.
