jin'g and ability, that, when he was only thirty-five years 
of age, he was placed at the head of the divines who were 
fent to Rome by the bifhops of France, in 1653, to defend 
the doctrine of St. Auguftine concerning grace ; and, after 
his return home, his pen was diligently employed in the 
fame caufe. Many of the pieces which he publitlied were 
his own feparate productions, and were either anonymous, 
or appeared under feigned names*, others were the joint 
labour of himfelf and tome of the principal writers among 
the Janfenifts, particularly MM. Claude Girard, Arnauld, 
and Nicole. The abbe Lalanne died in 1673, about the 
age of fifty-five; and is highly praifed for liberality, mo- 
defty, and piety, as well as learning. The titles and dates 
of between thirty and forty articles published by him, 
chiefly controversial, are given by Moreri.

LALLEMA'NT (John), a phyfician, and man of learn¬ 
ing, was of a good family of Autun, where he fiourifhed 
in the fixteenth century, about the end of which he died. 
He was eminent in his profeffion, and publifhed verfions 
of feveral treatifes of Hippocrates and Galen. He alfo 
publifhed a French v tranflation of the Four Philippics of 
Demofthenes, Paris, 1549; and a Latin Verfion of Seven 
Tragedies of Sophocles, Paris, 1577. In this laft work he 
has been convifted of plagiarifin, in borrowing, without 
acknowledgment, feveral lines from George Rataller. His 
znoft valuable labours relate to the different modes of com¬ 
puting the year, ufed by different nations of antiquity. 
They are contained in the following work: “Anni He- 
brasi & exterarum fere omnium anni ratio, & cum Ro¬ 
snano collatio,” Genev. 1571, 8vo. from this, three difler- 
fations, on the Macedonian and Attic years and months,

Befides a number of controverfial trails, he was the au¬ 
thor of, 1. The true Spirit of the Difciples of St. Auguf¬ 
tine, 1705 and 1707 ; 4 vols. i2ino. 2. The New Tefta- 
ment, 12 vols. nmo. with meditations and remarks, in¬

LAL'LI (Giambatifta), an Italian lawyer and poet, 
was bom at Norcia, in 1572. Although poetry was his 
favourite occupation, he did not negleit graver purfuits, 
particularly the ftudy of jurifprudence, his knowledge of 
which caufed him to be employed by the courts of Parma 
and Rome in the government of feveral places. In thefe 
offices he obtained general efteem, as well for his abilities 
as the fuavity of his manners. He afterwards retired to 
his native place, where he died in 1637. His ferious poems, 
one of which was upon the deftruition of Jerufalein, gave 
him a place among the good Italian poets of his time ; he 
was, however, more happy in his attempts at burlefque, 
for which he had a natural difpofition. His Pijiole Giocofe, 
and his Mofcheide and Franceide , are reckoned among the 
bed pieces of this kind. He alfo tried his powers in bur- 
lefque parody, and traveftied in this manner fome poems 
of Petrarch, and the Eclogues and Aineid of Virgil. In 
thefe trifles he fuceeeded as might be expeiled from one 
who poffefled great facility of verfifying, with a jocular 
call: of imagination. He publifhed a work in his proper 
profeffion, entitled Viridarium PraEUcarium Materiarnm irt 
utroque Jure, which was efteemed. Moreri. Tirabo/chi. 
LALLOUET'TE (Ambrofe), a French prielt whofe 
writings are in efteem among Catholics, was born at Paris 
in the year 1653. He was educated in his native city, and 
was for fome time a member of the congregation of the 
oratory. He was admitted a bachelor of divinity in the 
faculty of the Sorbonne; was appointed chaplain of Notre 
Dame; and nominated canon of St. Opportune, at Paris. 
Having acquired confiderable reputation as a preacher and 
confeffor, he was fent on a million to the fouth of France 
by Louis XIV. to inftruct and confirm thofe new converts 
from proteftantifm whom his majeftyjs troops had dragoon¬ 
ed into a profeffion of the catholic faith; and is reported 
to have been very fuccefsful in his undertaking. He died 
in 1734, in the feventy-firft year of his age. For the be¬ 
nefit of the new catholics, he publifhed, in 1687, and ad- 
drefied to them, a Difcourfe on the real Prefence of Jefus 
Chrift in the Eucharift, and a Treatife on the Commu¬ 
nion in one Kind; which were afterwards reprinted in * 
121110. volume. He was alfo the author of, 2. A Hif- 
tory of the French Tranflations of the Holy Scriptures, 
both printed and manufcript, as well by Catholics as by 
Protellants, with the Alterations made by the latter ac 
different Periods, See. 1692, 121110. which, though not free 
from errors, is faid to contain interelting and uleful infor¬ 
mation. 3. The Life of Antoinette de Gondi, Superior- 
general of Calvary, 1717, 121110. 4. The Life of Cardi¬
