BOYLESVE, MARIN de. - French Jesuit writer, b. at La Coltrie (near Angers) on 28 Nov. 1813, d. at Le Mans on 22 Feb. 1892. Having entered religious life in 1831, he taught letters, history and philosophy in various colleges, especially at Brugelette and at Le Mans; for many years he exercised the ministry in the latter city. Of a militant character and greatly active, he was a most prolific writer in various genres.
His publications, listed by Sommervogel, number fully 164: manuals of literature, of philosophy, of catechism, hymns, college dramas, various series of apologetic pamphlets. His many devotional pamphlets circulated widely. He promoted devotion to St. Joseph (St Joseph, over 45 editions) and especially devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Le mois du S. Coeur, over 100 editions). An initiative of his in 1870 stands at the origin of the French "national vow," which led to the erection of the basilica of the Sacred Heart at Montmartre.
