LESEUR, THOMAS. - Theologian, philosopher, mathematician of the Order of Minims, b. at Rethel (Champagne) in 1703, d. at Rome on 22 Sept. 1770. After teaching theology and philosophy in his province, he was sent (1734) to Rome where, in collaboration with Fr. Jacquier (v.), he carried on his long scientific activity.

He wrote, besides the works in collaboration with Jacquier, Mémoire sur le calcul intégral (Rome 1748); his theological works, along with other manuscripts, perished in the Napoleonic dispersal of the Roman convent of the Trinità.
