Jacques-François-Paul-Aldonce de Sade

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacques-François-Paul-Aldonce de Sade , called Abbé Sade (born September 21, 1705 at Mazan Castle , † December 31, 1778 in La Vignerme ) was a French man of letters ("homme de lettres"), a libertine woman and a nobleman from the family Sade .

His parents were Gaspard-François Marquis de Sade and Louise-Aldonse d'Astoaud de Mur. In 1733 he became Catholic Vicar General of Toulouse and in 1735 of Narbonne . In 1744 he became abbot of the Cistercians of Ébreuil in the Diocese of Limoges .

However, these offices were only benefices with which aristocrats like him were provided at the time, and had no effect on his views on religion. He was a friend of Voltaire and Émilie du Châtelet .

In 1760 his brother Jean-Baptiste-François-Joseph de Sade let him use the Saumane fiefdom , where he researched the family tree of his family and the life of Petrarch and arranged Laura genealogically correctly.

In 1762 he was briefly arrested for sexual debauchery. He also enjoyed spending time in Saumane with his young nephew, Donatien-Alphonse-François de Sade , who later radicalized his lifestyle as a man of letters , enlightenment and libertine .
