Jacques Longueval (French pronunciation: [ʒak lɔ̃ɡval]; 18 March 1680 – 14 January 1735) was a French Jesuit priest, theologian, scholar and historian of the Catholic Church in France.
Jacques Longueval was born on 18 March 1680 in Péronne, France.
He taught grammar and humanities classes from 1700 to 1707 at the colleges of Amiens and La Flèche.
Then he taught theology from 1719 to 1728, before retiring to the Professed House house in Paris, where he gathered documentation and did research for his Histoire de l’Église gallicane (History of the Gallican Church).
Unfortunately, a stroke took him into his fifty-fourth year, while he was in the process of completing the 8th volume.
