His major work Scriptores ordinis praedicatorum was completed by his fellow Dominican Jacques Échard.
He entered the Dominican Order at the age of 17, then studied philosophy at Paris and theology at Bordeaux.
In 1652, he became librarian of the Dominican convent in the rue Saint-Honoré in Paris.
He maintained relations with Chancellor Séguier, who entrusted his library and choice of books to him.
This work was incomplete at his death but was afterwards finished by Jacques Échard, who published it under the title Scriptores ordinis praedicatorum recensiti notis historicis et criticis illustrati auctoribus in 1719–21.
