EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Simon Gourdan (1646-1729), a renowned French scholar and theologian who served as a canon of the prestigious Abbey of Saint-Victor in Paris. Known for his expertise in casuistry, or the resolution of complex moral dilemmas, Gourdan was a leading figure in the intellectual world of 17th-century France. Born in Troyes, France, Gourdan studied at the Sorbonne in Paris before joining the Abbey of Saint-Victor, where he spent the majority of his career. His scholarly pursuits focused on moral theology, particularly in the area of casuistry. He authored several influential works on the subject, including "Casus Conscientiae," which became a standard reference for moral theologians. Gourdan's contributions to casuistry were significant during a time when the Church was grappling with the complex moral issues that arose in the context of the Counter-Reformation. His work helped to clarify the application of moral principles to specific cases, providing guidance for priests and laity alike. Despite his scholarly achievements, Gourdan's life was not without controversy. His rigorous application of moral principles to real-life situations sometimes brought him into conflict with the Church hierarchy. Nevertheless, his reputation as a leading casuist endured, and he remained a respected figure in the intellectual community until his death in 1729. This print, produced in the late 17th or early 18th century, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable scholar and theologian. With his serious expression and scholarly attire, Gourdan appears deep in thought, reflecting the depth of his intellectual pursuits and the weight of the moral dilemmas he sought to resolve.
