Louis le Comte
(Redirected from Louis-Daniel Lecomte)
Louis le Comte (1655–1728), also Louis-Daniel Lecomte, was a French Jesuit who participated in the 1687 French Jesuit mission to China under Jean de Fontaney. He arrived in China on 7 February 1688.[1]
He returned to France in 1691 as Procurator of the Jesuits.[2] His Nouveau mémoire sur l'état présent de la Chine, which was published in Paris in 1696, caused great debate within the Chinese Rites Controversy.[3]
By 1696, he had been appointed Mathematician to the King of France.[4]
