Jacques-Philippe Lallemant

Who was Jacques-Philippe Lallemant?

Jacques-Philippe Lallemant was a French Jesuit, of whom little is known beyond his writings. He took part in the discussion on the Chinese rites, and wrote the “Journal historique des assemblées tenues en Sorbonne pour condamner les Mémoires de la Chine”, a defense of his confrère Lecomte against the Sorbonnist, Jacques Lefèvre.

In his “Histoire des Contestations sur la Diplomatique” he sided with the Jesuits Jean Hardouin and Papebroch against the Benedictine Mabillon.
