De Péréfixe mentioned in separate article in Wikipedia. Help.
editOk, I’m terrible at source code and my web interface is far from fully functional on the iPad. This Archbishop of Paris is referenced in a separate article:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardouin_de_Péréfixe_de_Beaumont
Most of the text of this article on Mère Angelique and Port Royal Monastery is a direct port from the old Catholic Encyclopedia article and so it’s no surprise that not all of the cross references were inserted. I will see if I can find the primary source for the quote as well. Father V (talk) 18:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Original source for Pure as Angels, Proud as Demons
editI am not sure if it is the only source, but the most widely known work of that era was by Jean Racine who was educated at Port-Royal. His Abrégé de l'histoire de Port-Royal (1664) has the quotation near the end of the book, put into the mouth of the Archbishop « qu'à la vérité elles étoient pures comme des anges, mais qu'elles étoient orgueilleuses comme des démons ; ». The wiki source on this is https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3ARacine_-_Abrégé_de_l’histoire_de_Port-Royal%2C_éd._Gazier%2C_2e_éd.djvu/198 . Oddly the actual screenshot has this as pg. 172. Presumably this is because of the difference in 1st and 2nd editions. Father V (talk) 21:45, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
