Abstract

La biblioth��que Bodl��ienne ��conserve une lettre de Bossuet, du 26 f��vrier 1687, en r��ponse �� une ��consultation qui lui avait ��t�� adress��e ��d���Angleterre sur la question du pr��t �� int��r��t, ��conform��ment �� ��l���autorit�� dont il jouissait parmi les catholiques anglais. Aux antipodes de la casuistique baroque, Bossuet refuse de prendre en ��compte les circonstances particuli��res et se borne �� d��cliner les principes th��ologiques de son Trait�� de ��l���usure. Il aboutit ainsi �� des ��conclusion tr��s s��v��res.<br />The Bodleian Library holds a letter from Bossuet, dated February 26, 1687, in response to a query he received from England on the question of interest-bearing loans, a reflection of his authority among English Catholics. At the polar extreme of Baroque casuistry, Bossuet refused to take into account particular circumstances and limited himself to appealing to the theological principles he developed in his Trait�� de ��l���usure���which leads him to rather severe conclusions.
