CHAPEAUVILLE, JEAN. - Belgian theologian and historian, b. at Liège on 5 Jan. 1551, d. there on 5 May 1617.

Ordained a priest, he was first a very zealous parish priest at Liège, well deserving particularly during the plague, then inquisitor of the faith (1583) at the wish of Bishop Ernest of Bavaria, his archdeacon and vicar general, provost of the Chapter of St. Peter.

He composed treatises on reserved cases and on the manner of administering the Sacraments in time of plague; he commented on the catechism of the Council of Trent.

His qualities as a scholar and critic emerged in the Historia sacra, profana necnon et politica, a publication in three volumes (Liège 1612-16) in which he collected the ancient chronicles relating in particular to Belgium.
