Henri de Maupas du Tour: The Funeral Oration for Vincent de Paul

Vincentian Heritage

"The Funeral Oration for Vincent de Paul" by Bishop Henri de Maupas du Tour was the first public reflection on the life, values and legacy of Vincent de Paul soon after his death in September 1660. Long-forgotten, the work is now revealed as a cornerstone of Vincentian historiography. Louis Abelly, Vincent's first biographer, builds on the foundation laid by Maupas du Tour. Now translated for the first time into English and fully-annotated and contextualized, the funeral oration must now be considered as a foundational text for Vincentian historiography. https://youtu.be/PDO5XARmSrM Order the print copy here: https://setonshrine.org/product/henri-de-maupas-du-tour-funeral-oration-vincent-de-paul-23-november-1660/
