Quotes:Taverne

Zirkoff, Boris

Taverne or Taberna, Jean-Baptiste. French jesuit moralist, b. at Lille, April 6, 1622; d. at Douai, while tending to those sick during an epidemic, March 28, 1686. Entered the Order, 1640, and taught for many years philosophy and theology at Douai. Chief work: *Synopsis theologiae practicae, etc., which was not published until after his death, at Douai, 1698, in three vols. Gave rise to prolonged arguments pro and con, and was proscribed by the Bishop of Arras. It was, however, published in as many as six editions at Cologne, between 1700 and 1754, without any deletions, and with outspoken recommendation by the Jesuits. Another ed., appeared at Bénévent, 1740. The author takes the side of “probabilism.” (See Dict. de théol. Catholique, Paris, 1903).
