BOUTAULT, MICHEL. - French Jesuit, b. in Paris on 1 Nov. 1608, entered the Order in 1625, d. at Pontoise on 12 May 1689, after a life spent in teaching and preaching.
He published two collections of meditations, affective in tone and Salesian in inspiration, on the texts of the wisdom books: Les conseils de la Sagesse (Paris 1677), Suite des conseils de la Sagesse (ibid. 1683). More famous is the little work Méthode pour converser avec Dieu (ibid. 1684), esteemed and translated by St. Alphonsus Liguori. It was placed on the Index in 1723, apparently because of certain Jansenistic interpolations, but the 1910 edition was expressly authorized.
