CLÉMENT DE BOISSY, ATRANASE-ALEXANDRE. - French jurist, brother of the bishop of Versailles Augustin, counselor of the Chambre des Comptes of Paris, b. at Créteil in 1716, d. at St-Palaye in 1793.

He wrote on theological and ascetic subjects. Besides the curious apologetic work L'Auteur de la nature (3 vols., Paris 1782), which begins with physiological notions and extends into eschatological hypotheses, he published: Abrégé et concorde des livres de la Sagesse (ibid. 1767), Abrégé de l'Ancien et du Nouveau Testament (2 vols., ibid. 1788, under the pseudonym "Fontenay"), Manuel de Saintes Ecritures (3 vols., ibid. 1788-89). He also wrote, under the said pseudonym, De la grâce de Dieu et de la prédestination (ibid. 1787) and Le mépris des choses humaines (ibid. 1791).
