Biographie

Après ses études au Collège des Jésuites anglais de Saint-Omer, il entre dans la Compagnie de Jésus le 7 septembre 1715, à Watten.

Inventeur d'un méthode de triangulation, après un cours d'enseignement à Saint-Omer, il enseigne la philosophie et la théologie à Liège. A l’automne 1744, il devint recteur du Collège anglais des Jésuites de Rome et occupe ce poste jusqu'en 1750. Il retourne à Saint-Omer en mars 1757[1],[2].
