BRUNET I, 946. SOMMERVOGEL I, 1500. FUNCK 279. Dedicated ''à la Roine du Paradis.'' The approval is dated Antwerp 7 February 1632. Born in Dijon in 1599, Estienne Binet entered the Society of Jesus in 1590 in Novellara (Italy). In 1603, when Henry IV recalled the Jesuits, he returned to France and played an important role in the affairs of his Order. Successively provincial of the three provinces of Paris, Lyon and Champagne, he intervened with skill and moderation in the controversy over the Regulars (1623). Fr Binet was particularly active in the Counter-Reformation and his name is associated with the most important episodes in the renewal of religious life in the seventeenth century. He is a major representative of Christian humanism and the French Baroque.
